<<I would not, however, send them here to be introduced to the loony toons of UFO's, crop circles, conspiracy theories and other off topic and off the planet subjects. They would likely and justly relate us to these topics.>>
Hi all, I just want to comment on the gentlemens remarks above. I think in order for anyone to go to a CS site, they either have or are developing an open mind. I have an open mind, thats what led me to CS in the first place and then to this list. I'm not a techie and all I can post are the experiences I have had from taking/ applying CS. Having an open mind also has included reading about UFO's, crop circles, herbs, Nessie, O. B. E.s, and even the little man in FL. where I used to live not too far from. I don't think that makes me looney or the hordes of people I know who also look into some of the same subjects. In fact, some of my friends feel CS is the "looney" subject and the rest matter-of-factly. I feel I have experienced the ravage of a closed mind individual... I hope he stays 1,000's of miles away and doesn't terrorize us again! I realize we get off topic occasionally but it provides a little relief for me from the tech talk. I don't mind the tech talk.. I sift through it and figure I'll be able to enjoy the end result... better CS! I think this list has a symbiotic relationship.. it creates an ebb an flow on the list. I'm on a few lists and all of them went through a little letting off of steam after 9/11. I'm glad you were tolerable(open minded) with that Mike, as many think of this list as family or "safe" and can express their fears, feelings, etc. C-hicken S-oup for the soul... Mike, from a non techie, I enjoy the list and think you do a great job (applaud)! JMO Terri L.
