Wheel Questions

[crenshawseeds.livejournal.com]

I'm Ashley Taylor, a reporter for the Somerville News writing a story about John Monsarrat's Wheel Questions installation currently at Davis Square in front of the 7-11.  

What do you think of it?  

Have you posted questions, and did you appreciate the answers?  Or do you just read it?  

Or have you never heard of it or seen it?

Particularly, as members of an on-line community, what do you think of the idea of having a community based around a physical structure, "the Wheel"?  

Please let me know  explicitly, when you reply, whether or not I can quote you in my article. 

Thank you.

Or maybe something where we ask personal but not privacy-violating questions of any random person and put them in a box, and then draw out another person's question to answer. Stuff like, "What's the most interesting dream you've had lately?" "Do you believe in an afterlife, and if so, what's it like?" No names or contact info or anything. So we'd be able to see input from all kinds of people on all kinds of topics. Plus, it'd be more of a community interactive thing.

I like that idea, too. It would improve the installation and its reception in the community.

reminds me of the 'USENET oracle'

Thanks for the reminder. I added a link to that as a top-level comment.

I really like that idea! It strikes me as much more effective than what's been done.
