Re: The makeup of the List

Amen to what you said Glenda!

I'm so glad there are those that can verbalize what I find problems stating.

I've been on the list 7-8 months, and it's been a wonderful place!

> I've been on this list for over two years now (can you believe it?). The

thing that I have always enjoyed and been proud of with this list is the

sense of family and goodwill here. Its been a long time since I thought of

this list as a list for information, although we receive plenty! For a long

time it has been very clear for me that this is actually an online support

group.

> I wouldn't like to see anything changed. I am sorry for the members who

find the mail level excessive, but that is the nature of this list. I know

that people have had to unsubscribe in the past due to the volume of mail,

but what that means is that we have built up a population of people who want

the list the way it is, and have stayed because of what it is. To change

that would be very unfair to them.

> I thought the point of announcing the birthdays at the beginning of the

week was fair, so as not to miss people...however, if they are loaded into

the calendar, people who only get on every few days can check the calendar

regularly and make a note of who's coming up.

should just let Allie do what she wants, she seems fine' and from putting up

with the nastiness that appears on other lists and never rears its ugly head

here.

Very well spoken, Glenda.

I also share the sentiments you so aptly expressed.

And a 'Happy New Year' to you all.
