i do not know you denise but i have been subscribed to this group for a long time therefore i feel that i am a bit qualified to make a comment . i am a lurker and posted sometimes but only occasionally yrs back . i do find though that your approach denise can be very confrontational and can often take up a lot of space . it often feels like the list is dormant bar the denise show . i am personally not gaining a lot from the list compared to former times and will need to unsubscribe shortly because i get no joy from these occasional outbursts .
