Dear List - People, and more importantly Dear Ivan... Please accept my heartfelt apology for inadvertently publicly posting what had been intended to be a private response to what I'd THOUGHT to b be a private message to me. from another List member. Ivan, I cannot express strongly enough that I feel SO sorry to have caused you any pain or grief - that that never been an intention of mine towards you or any list member. While I recognize MY right to speak up, and YOUR right to speak up is of equal status on this List that we so obviously cherish, I'd STILL never intentionally PUBLICLY post a catty, bitchy, downright nasty message as I wrote to Dennis. I'm a strong believer that what folks say in private email to each other should be kept private - unless published with the author's permission. I respect their right to say whatever they want to IN PRIVATE. That's their business. However, when something is said publicly, well then, I think all care must be taken not to flame or otherwise defame anyone.and that goes for what's said to Ivan, myself, or anyone. So again, Ivan, please accept my apology. It's given with no lame excuses for my stupidity, just sincerity. I hope you AND the rest of the List family will NOT pick up on this and start any further online pain or aggravation. That - if posted, will only case further mayhem here. Folks, I urge you to PLEASE let this issue die a natural death rather than further stirring up the pot. If anyone of you feel you MUST say something to me on this sad matter EVEN If you feel the need to chastise me for my dumb comment, please do so privately. ... PRIVATELY so as not to whip up the flames any further. I'm a "big girl," and can take it on the chin (virtually, of course!), and will respond if a response is warranted. Thanks, and again, Ivan, my apologies. Barb Mallut (with egg on face) [log in to unmask] Barn Mallut
