Shel is exactly correct here. I do have to be cautious about what my girls
see. There are occassions when the list is a little strong for them. So I
have to pre-read and then guide them to the posts that would be helpful to
them. I do appreciate the list and the dynamics of the different
participants, but I would appreciate you keeping in mind that there are
readers of all ages and keeping the content suitable for younger ears.
Thanks,
Bruce Dayton
