Re: [Goanet] Selma Quits? Oh, no!

No, no. She should not give up. I always admired that lady's guts and gumption 
in a male dominated forum. And she wielded her pen with aplomb. She was one of 
the few persons I read consistently cause she made sense to me. I hope she 
changes her mind.
Allez Selma!

  I've had a good run. Great fun. But I now request the moderators to change 
  my listing to a digest. After four long years, I need some air to breathe.

Come on Shellu, I know you are not the one to quit that easily.
I always admired you and your guts, from the time we knew our families since
1968
Hang on there dear

Cheers

Mario observes:

Now, now, Senor Cabral, let's not get carried away here:-))  However she does 
wield a wicked pen and is willing to cross swords with anyone.

Mario responds:

Relax.  She's not going anywhere.  This is her primary world stage.  All she 
asked to do was shift to receiving Digests.

Mario asks:

How does changing her listing to a Digest mean that she has quit?  This forum 
would not be the same without Selma, the Sarah Palin of Goanet:-))

I have been on the Digest for years and still remain the bane of pompous 
prevaricators and blustering bloviators and the lone voice on Goanet of reason, 
truth and peace:-))

And who is this mysterious coddler you are referring to?  I haven't noticed 
any overt coddling going on:-))  I don't think Selma lends herself to coddling. 
 In fact, she has been publicly chastized recently for an unfortunate reference 
and one egregious mis-spelling.

She has more cojones - metaphorically speaking of course - than many who should 
be thus endowed.  At the risk of being accused of sexism, she takes her lumps 
like a man.  Am I wrong?

Good heavens!  Maybe I will now be accused of coddling:-))
