The rewarding part of being the editor of our newsletter is that I get to talk to our members and reacquainte with them. Through our informal conversations and emails, we managed to get into subjects beyond just the article they are preparing. Often their opinions and thoughts on issues related to or beyond the article tumble out and are very illuminating. These communications allow me to share thoughts on architecture as well as politics that we seldom have had a chance to do before. I wonder why? Is it because of conventions that stress polite social conversation and exclude serious subjects, or are we just not in the habit of talking about architecture with our colleagues.
