hi all jeanette wrote to me privately and i feel compelled to respond publicly: At 11:42 1999/02/07 -0600, jeanette wrote: >janet, >i guess i just assumed Howard Collins was telling the truth. i'll let >the list know what if any reply i get from "mars" in the future. maybe >he really wants to be a writer and has no raw personal life experiences >of his own so invented some? >jeanette fuhr you and kathrynne responded immediately and warmly [and i had put his message aside for replying to as well] it can be embarrassing to think we've been 'taken in' by a scam artist but in fact the only person who needs to feel embarrassed is the scammer you and i and others assumed that hc9262 was telling the truth as in "innocent until proven guilty" not a bad way to look at life i trust that this incident and others like it won't sour anyone so much as to change that viewpoint this is why i suggested that hc9262's posting might constitute an invasion my thanks to martin brayne [whatta brain] for 'sniffing' this one out and so quickly someone once said we should learn to love our enemies as ourselves and turn the other cheek 70 zillion times or something like that so hc9262, if you are out there listening, your 'joke' worked for a little while but i wonder why you thought it might be 'fun'? you are blessed with a talent for writing why not try to use it for helping rather than hurting? maybe an essay exploring your motives behind your message? now that's something i wouldn't put aside! janet janet paterson - 51 now /41 dx /37 onset - almonte/ontario/canada http://www.newcountry.nu/pd/members/janet/index.htm [log in to unmask]
