First of all, let me apologize if it sounded like "blasting". I'm very grateful that we have these lists, and someone who's volunteered to monitor them. Anyone who's been on a list that's been spammed or flamed can appreciate that.
There seems to be a happy medium between the lists that allow almost everything and those that allow almost nothing. The intent behind my poorly worded post was to just add a quiet voice of moderation, hoping to calm a frustrated belt-wielding mother. As with little children, drawing attention to misbehavior (especially in public) isn't nearly as productive as reinforcing positive behavior. It was only a single post on this list, not a thread spinning out of control, and it probably would've died without further comment. And people seem to like that better. - B __________________ I hope no mom looks like me. If you don't think I am friendly, you don't know what you are talking about. I let MANY things slide on these lists which many others wouldn't. But when I close a thread on one list, just to see it posted on a sister-list, it is frustrating. I have told certain people off-list to stay on topic a few times, and it obviously is ignored. Everyone has a line, you cross it, time for being 'friendly' is over. Think before you feel like blasting the person who keeps order to the lists on those lists.
