Bob, I rarely post to this list, occasionally to CARE. Although my Aussie humour doesn't understand what all the fuss is about, and I do sometimes find the jokes amusing, I do agree with you that in a public forum such as this, if one person is offended it should stop. What I will do and say in the privacy of my close circle of friends, and in public are quite often different because I am more aware of others. Please reconsider your decision to leave because I find your comments always interesting and useful. You seem able to balance some issues with sanity. I tend to quite often ignore quite a few messages because they seem to be concerned more with putting people down or personal attacks and I don't think there is a place for this on the list. I will now go back into my box downunder and continue to read and learn. Ruth from downunder, CG for Betty (Mum) aged 70, diagnosed around 20 years.
