Janet you said: >i am touched by your concern >but i need some clarification here - >which messages in particular have given you cause to worry? >how have they been 'different'? Well, I guess for one thing, when making a few changes to the list was brought up, you seemed to get really uptight. I know I get that way with things that I think I have put a lot of time & love into something & then someone comes along and tries to suggest changes. I am a big one for resisting change of any kind. I like things "the way we've always done them." All of us are here to fight PD & to help each other whenever it is needed along the way. I guess it not such a big deal to me whether I click on "reply to author" or "reply to all", as long as we keep in touch. Don, God love him, was a little confused at first, but Barb worked that out with no problem. Yes, the messages have been a little sparse over the week-end, but with it being a long week-end & you mentioned there being some problems with AOL., I think that would account for the lull...not that people didn't like the list. And, too, I'll admit, when the fur is flying on a list, I tend to back WAY off. But today, I seemed to pick up on more hurt than anger when discussing the list. I just think your feeling have a lot to do with something else & not what button we use to reply to one another. I may be all wet & don't know what I am talking about. But I just keep feeling that while you are always there to give hope & encouragement to others, you are in need of a little of the same for yourself. You are always the giver, & maybe it's time to let someone give to you. I do not do well at expressing myself. Things sort of run around in my head & I can't quite get them to come out my fingertips. I hope you can understand what I am trying to say. I do care how you feel. Linda [log in to unmask]
