this is te best post so far
on the list topic
i have recently lost some friends off this list
i will need to scan the archives for addresses
because my address book is lost on a "previous" computer
and grown a bit closer off list with others
i apologize for not being more involved
but, personality conflicts get deleted fast
and a lot of "trivia" or comiserating
i' been on different list serves
each with their own personalities
but, i've never saw such widespread wave of
self-doubt and insecurity
i hope i'm here for the "long haul"
