I like getting the responses even if it aimed at one person because I might

have something to learn from it or add to it. I think that if people are

concerned about the amount of mail then switching to the digest mode would be

for them. Also, I like hearing the other side of the coin on these issues, and

to see how they misinform so many. So, IMO I think that the list should stay

as is.

1st..I think you are doing a great job with this list!

2nd. I like the fact that you post pro and anti material ... if our goal is

to inform we should not limit the information.

3rd. I like to listen (read) in on conversations between two people ...

people often ask questions before I get the chance so I just await the

response to them, although I think " short personal note " such as.... Thank

you ... or a yes or no. Should be sent to the person directly.

4th. I think I is great that the list is going so well, however putting a

limit on the number of members would be a good idea... I moderate an AP list

and I have had to set a limit so that the list remains enjoyable to all the

members.

hi nicole,

here's what i think:

1. yes, please continue to post those pro-vaccine stuff, cause how

else are we able to know what awaits us when being confronted by a

pro-vaccine dr.? i think it is very important to be informed about

both sides of the issue, after all knowledge is power...

2. i'm kind of overwhelmed with the amount of posts, especially

recently... i guess it would be a good idea if, especially those

'thank you' posts could be sent in private! i already get quite a few

e-mails from people on the lists privately, and i'm happy to answer

any questions they have, and my suggestion would be, if you have

questions re. one post which is directed to one person, e-mail her/him

directly rather than via the list. if the subject is very interesting

or acute, then post it on the list, but otherwise, just continue the

'conversation' in private. that way, we won't have that many posts,

and all the posts will be interesting to everyone on the list.

3. congratulations, nicole. it is due to your input and dedication

that this list is growing so fast!!! i hope it continues this way.

love and light

I think that presenting both sides of an issue is important. If you don't

know what and who you are up against, how can you prepare to talk with and

educate others? Keep it up.

Being relatively new to the Internet world and also to this list, I wasn't

sure if it was the " done thing " to email someone directly from the list. If

so, I think that would help cut down on the amount of postings each day.

Also, I agree that some people may want to switch to the digest version. That

is certainly an option.

Well, that is my two-cents worth today.

Thanks for a wonderful place of support and information. I have waited

almost twenty years for something like this and it was worth waiting for!

I agree, . I enjoy reading articles from both sides....it is only

through keeping an open mind that we can become fully informed and

confident in the decisions we make for our children.

I will admit that I haven't even opened alot of my mail from this list due

to the overwhelming amount...also considering I have subscribed to several

other list. There are days it takes up an hour to just download all my

mail...yikes! Can you please transfer me to the digest mode. Thanks in

advance!

I also like to see the " pro " articles. We need to know what we're

fighting, don't we? As to the " thank-you " type of post, I may have a

useful suggestion. I used to subscribe to a homeopathic list

(homeopathy@...). The list was set up in such a way that you

could easily reply to only the writer of a post by clicking on " reply " . If

you wanted to send your reply to the whole list, you click on " reply all " .

I found this very useful. I understand Belinda's point in wanting to learn

from all the posts, but I found that, on that other list, people were

pretty good about sharing posts (ie. clicking " reply all " ) that would be of

interest to all, even if it were directed specifically to one person. Did

I explain that well enough to understand??? Anyway, I do thoroughly enjoy

this list and am always learning something new.
