be less helpful

this phrase - less helpful   @ddmeyer  the tag to his blog name... 
is so key.. and since it comes up time and again.. in many different flavors.. i have to hugely applaud Dan here.. for coming up with such a graceful way of stating it.
because we do need grace. we really do all want to be good. no more bashing. (me included)



cool addition to jan 2010 and april 2009 
july 2010 from @wendydrexler and @ruthhoward while at least one of them is listening live to alan november:
nice - @WendyDrexler: @RuthHoward 
teacher as facilitator 
as kids have the pleasure 
of finding things out..(feynman)  http://bit.ly/cL5F2J

if we were (oh if we could only be) less helpful... 
would we have less than 90% of pop wanting rules to follow, not able to make their next move till they get that list of instruction?
what if we were less helpful at instructing and more helpful at connecting?
