FIRST-a-holic Anonymous mailbox corner

[Ken Leung]

A lot of my experience in FIRST prompted me to push forth this idea. Many times I felt that I want to get something off my chest, but 1) wished to remain nameless, 2) hide the identity of anyone who might be involved. Other times I just want to ask for advice without having to worry about being judged, or just want someone to listen.

So, here is what I want to start (and want your feedbacks of): FIRST-a-holic Anonymous mailbox corner. (didn’t intent to borrow the “FIRST-a-holic Anonymous” name, I will think of a better name later)

The whole point is what I just said: a mailbox for anyone participating in FIRST to e-mail/message to. The sender’s identity will remain nameless, and I ask that any team/group/person mentioned in the message be nameless too. I will then post the message in the forum (maybe its own sub-forum), and any CD posters can respond to the message (be mindful that the responds will be monitored carefully.)

The anonymous mailbox is for:

1) Sharing your concerns and frustrations about your team, friends, family, organization, or other individuals you work with because of FIRST.
2) If you just want someone to listen.
3) Ask for advice when you don’t know what to do.

The anonymous mailbox is NOT for:

1) Bashing your own or other teams, organization, or individuals.
2) Start controversial arguments.
3) Anything non-FIRST related.


Let me know what you think.
