IMO... YOU'RE AN AWESOME GUY STAN !! Stan Kurtz <kurtzstan@...> wrote: We say "In My Opinion" or "In My Observation" so often, we just type it IMO to save time.IMO is a way of saying:1.

Keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times.... you get the idea.In the early days of the list I would get emails from doctors or people telling me that a doctor was upset about something I said.... sometimes for good reason. I've since put automated disclaimers when you join and once a month following that I'm not a doctor... just a parent... etc.That said, everything I say is pretty much my opinion and I think we understand that, but just to be

sure that someone doesn't get the wrong idea, I still write IMO so people are reminded that I don't feel I have all the answers, that I am often wrong, human, still learning, etc etc....I realize it's probably overkill, but for some maybe not.. and I've learned to give respect to my friends (and some folks that I can think of who don't always like me) who are better credentialed then I and I try to be more conservative in the words I use to express my thoughts just in case someone might get the wrong idea.I'm glad you asked what it meant.
