hi all i'm going to take advantage of an apparent lull: the list volume seems to be lower than usual right now either aol is eating my mail again or some of us are digesting this latest list-kefuffle i thought it might be apropos if i re-posted some relevant [in my humble opinion] messages of mine from my web-site [for the benefit of those who don't have wwweb access] if you are a cyber relative newbie you might find them interesting if you are a cyber relative oldie you might want to dust off your delete key i will not apologize for these duplications and adding to the list volume the list is here for our inter-all-communication i hope these help us all to christine, i do want to apologize to you if my tone appeared a bit snide that was not my intention at all you have as much right to express your feelings here as i do while i'm declaring my opinions about this list i feel i must say this: to barb patterson: you are a bright light in this often murky world your generosity in starting and maintaining this list purely out of love is a beacon guiding us to a safe haven maybe the only one some of us have with gratitude janet a new voice: http://www.newcountry.nu/pd/members/janet/index.htm 51/10 - almonte/ontario/canada - [log in to unmask] janet paterson
