THIS IS BEING RE-POSTED ESPECIALLY FOR NEW MEMBERS: Well friends, what goes around, comes around--we've worked our way through this NON-PD matter many times in the years I've been on PIEN and since I started CARE in Nov. 1995. There are always plenty of folks on both sides---and of course no way of taking a vote of the "majority" (and BTW, we Quakers don't vote, anyway --and we eventually get unity ! ) Because I helped a little bit in drafting the guidelines for PIEN, and for CARE as well, I understand the wish to maintain a focus on the reason we are here and the problems we share---but I guess I thought the tragedy of 9/11 was one of those shared problems that people needed to " vent about" as one person put it. I will offer, since many have requested the "alternative information" I and others have shared recently,and say they appreciate getting perspectives not always covered in the news media, to put together a little"distribution list "of those on both PIEN and CARE who want to receive these posts. I can then fwd them offlist to those persons, and the purity of PD discourse will no longer be threatened <G> SO---if you want to be part of such a list, please email me OFF either PIEN or CARE (never mind if you have already done so--I got the idea from you !) and I'll try to accommodate. And if you have material to share, send itto me and I'll fwd it to the rest of you. After all, I no longer have to give meds every 2 hours, so I can try to meet other needs of this very special cyber-community.
