For a bunch of educated people some of you don't read so hot!  BETTY, Nita,
Judy, don, Nancy M,  Hilary.

I am not trying to be a wise guy.  But please reread my post.  I am the last
one around here to want to put a kabash on the chit chat.  I love the chit
chat.  It's just that I don't have time to read it all.  I have 2
complaints - still unaddressed  - no NOT PD if isn't, and using the same
subject heading long after its demise.  I was not picking on dogs or cats or
anything  in particular. This has been a topic before and it has been
clearly settled. The vast majority of the 50+ or so of us active members
want the NON PD stuff.  Don't pick on Ken and Gina for me, Betty.  I always
read Ken and Gina. Ken is my favorite Liberal in the whole world!

But I am absolutely certain that that we are in danger of losing some
extremely valuable contributors to this list if we can't at least TRY to
maintain a bit of  labeling discipline.  That's all - LABELING discipline.
I have heard from one of these folks, who told me of others (one of them, an
MD, helped me personally once) who aren't pleased with opening a post &
having it say.........       I can personally think of half a dozen list
members we don't hear enough from any longer.  And I am not talking about
Udall experts.

I now add a third complaint.  People who don't read so hot!
