Well,Charlotte, I certaibly respect your opinion and
your right to voice it, but please send any further
correspondence re: the List TO the List, and not to me
personally. Because that might be construed as a

I am not angry with you, and am not sure what I
personally have done to make you so angry with me.I
feel that the place for List issues is ON the List.
