Dear friends, First, I want to say thank you to Joan for being the one to speak up about the shameful way that Janet is being treated. Second, I want to apologize to Janet for not defending her sooner. I read almost everything on this list every day and I am ashamed of all of us for accepting this kind of behavior. No one, including Janet, is right all the time, but, no one deserves this disrespect. Can we not all communicate like the supportive adults we claim to be?
