Hello all: my posting of yesterday was concerned not at all with format (I just never have used "reply to") but rather with our intentions. I had merely said that I thought that some were intimidated by all of our fussing as to what is & what is not appropriate to post to the list. I was by no means trying to stir up even more controversy. I thought that the recent lack of (I admit-my favorite) personal stories & inspirational stories from the pd "front"-may have indicated that there were some who were frightened to post for fear of being corrected. I love the idea of mail call & do not propose fixing anything. I just wanted a little tolerance & encouragement for those posting to protect the spontaneity & integrity of what has become a mainstay in my life. -- Joan E.
