Judy, JoAnn, and All... One of the first rules of this list, as explained to us by Barb Patterson (Paterson?) who IS the List OWNER, is that the "List Golden Rule" as it applies to us AND to our fellow List members is, "Thou shalt not PUBLICLY BASH a fellow List member." It was then pointed out to us the many virtues of using PRIVATE Email to express oneself without *purposely* setting out to make anyone else look like a fool, including oneself... To paraphrase a famous statesman, "It's better to for one to sit with one's mouth SHUT and let people WONDER If one is a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt. Further, it's been suggested (more times than I can count!) that IF anyone has a beef against some one on the List, that rather than take the issue directly to that other individual VIA PRIVATE EMAIL and settle the issue in an mature adult manner. Ultimately, NOTHING good ever comes out of trying to publicly humiliate another individual, and especially by doing so that THEY are made to feel embarrassed or pushed so hard by your verbal assault as to feel forced to go on the offensive, protecting their front while the aggressor does an about face and stabs them in their back.. FINALLY, every single keyboard sold worldwide comes with a "DELETE" key. If you disapprove of someone's comment or thought, Just click on your delete key and forget you've ever seen 'em online.
