I was simply arguing that this was an "appropriate forum/site" for such a posting and asking him to "re-post it in the appropriate forum/ site" was unnecessary and could stop the future the posting of such topics. "Where can I buy a mac?" is a very appropriate topic on this list. He didn't ask "Does anyone have a mac for sale?", did he? When a co-nanny/monitor makes a mistake I'll point it out. Especially if it's at the expense of the list. If you don't agree with me then please contact Dan and have him contact me off-list.
