And all I got was this lousy standard email
 
Hello, and a rather belated welcome to the PIElink.
 
This is Robin Johnson. I’m the guy that first thought up and thought through the PIE idea; and then set up this website, that you have now joined.
 
In the early days of setting up this registration process, I used to be able to send an individual email to everyone who registered  - personalised, that is according to the information you had sent in.  I used to get replies to about a third of these; the rest either meant to, but didn’t get round to it, or probably never saw it, as it went straight in their spam folder.

But those third I did get were often very helpful, in helping me hear about what is happening in the rest of the world, and where the PIE idea is now going. We got some good conversations, useful links.  Living as I do in West Cornwall, and getting older, I don’t get out so much as I used to. These contacts helped a lot.
 
But the PIElink now has over 1,000 registered members; and numbers are growing steadily by around 10 a week.   Plus, having turned 70 a few weeks back, I had promised myself I would take this as a sign from the heavens to start to wind down. Well, at least to start. Something had to give.
 
So unless and until someone else comes along to take over this work*, I am afraid all you get is this standard monthly email – and even that is a bit late (It’s been a busy time; but hey - so it is for everybody…)
 
Still, I do really miss that immediate engagement, even if only a third actually did reply. And I am ALWAYS keen to hear of more examples of creative practice ‘in the PIE spirit’, or new fields where folk are boldly going. Its frankly inspirational.
 
So I am happy to hear from any new members, and I will try to answer any questions you have – just maybe not quite as promptly as I used to do.  If you do have a story to tell, or particular questions to ask, do feel free to mail me. 

We do what we can……
 
Robin
 
 

  • I’ve also had to discontinue the monthly newsletter, a while ago; it was just getting to be far too much work, to keep up with everything. Though I’d still be keen to encourage anyone else to try their hand, as a guest editor, to share what helps, in your world…..
