joann i understand your desire to lighten things up, it just seems that this site has become a chat line dominated by a few.isn't there a different venue that can be used? it is very time consuming to cull out the information i need. levity is wonderful, but i wonder how many pwp opt to leave this site because they can't wade thru the non-pd info. hope you can understand my point of view best regards murph 58/10 On Fri, 8 Dec 2000 16:56:10 EST Jo Ann Coen <[log in to unmask]> writes: > Merlin - Someone else said the same thing this morning, but please > try to > remember, even though our PRIMARY purpose is to share PD > information, we > are all hurting.
