hi all
some may interpret rick's message as a personal attack
on sandy and her generosity
('in the ozone' doesn't strike me as particularly flattering)
and personal attacks, aside from being frowned upon by our list mom,
are just the thing to discourage open and honest communication
among us
why not look at the generosity and love behind sandy's offer?
it certainly cannot be viewed as a threat to anyone,
can it?
so why attack it?
why not rejoice in it?
this list is not in competition with plwp,
or the mgh forum,
or .. etc...,
is it?
