Jo Ann and all, Go a little easy on the "know-it-all new people." It doesn't have to be an us-or-them scenario. I think there's room for everyone who wants to contribute to the list. Besides "strong, sharing, loving people," we also need, and are needed by, weak, introverted people too traumatized to feel love. Step back and re-read your message and try to stand in the shoes of those you want to get rid of. Take care, Rick 49/47 Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2000 22:03:18 EST From: Jo Ann Coen <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: Diection of the list Can all of you see what is happening? because of a couple of know-it-all new people, we are losing some of our old-timers who write beautiful poems tell wonderful jokes and impart great news about being a PWPD and a CG. What is going on with you all? Have you forgotten the reason for the season? Have ;you forgotten about love? Understanding" Compassion? Pity? Where are you coming from? We don't need narrow-minded nincompoops (and that's a nice word compared to what I really feel). We need strong, sharing, loving people. Like Bob Armentrout, Darwin Hawkins, Barbara Knight, Audrey from Seattle, Juanita Hibbert and so many others I've been corresponding with. I'm saying, IF YOU CAN't STAND THE HEAT, GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN, AND LET THOSE OF WHO HAVE SHARED OVER THE YEARS, GET BACK IN. Can you imagine what we old-timers are feeling right now, or do you care? Jo Ann from Houston and proud of it. --
