Hi. I am very new to the list, yet I feel that I contribute enough so as to be called a member of the "vocal minority". It breaks my heart to hear one censoring another; feelings are bound to be hurt & I will be afraid to ever post again. I don't understand the problem fully, I guess. I have my list delivered in "digest" form. That way, two or occasionally three times a day, I get my PWP e-mails all at once. From there, it seems to be an easy process to scroll down, read what I want, save it for later if I want or to delete the whole thing! I believe that all of us have different needs & wants that are being fulfilled through this wonderful safe-haven of a list. The last thing we need is to frighten away any contribution; based on a committe-like decision to judge what is appropriate. Those of us who do contribute do so for a variety of reasons & should show (as Camilla has already said) a little discretion when deciding how to reply, but get over it! This squabbling & in-fighting just destroys our solidarity! Face it-we all need each other & (I suspect) we all have something to contribute! thanks for allowing me this forum to openly express my views without fear of censure. -- Joan Snyder (47/8) "Do or do not.
