Warning - this is my 1st post on DU. I am sure there are rules I will break and that stuff I may say has already been said SOMEWHERE on the site. If so, please cut an FNG some slack. Thx.

Where I am coming from:
A leader is a person with voluntary followers. Titles do not make leaders. Anyone who needs rules to "make" followers toe the line is a manager NOT a leader.

So, do we have a discussion of organizing on DU someplace where folks already understand what I just posted and can share ideas and resources. If so could someone please supply a link or two?

Also, I could use a reservoir of smart alec memes. Ridicule is a POWERFUL weapon. I am willing to contribute some I have made and/or from my collection to such a group collection. Anyone know of such a place? I would start one, but apparently as an FNG I have no such ability here. <sarcasm
