There are quite a few people on the list who want to know about other people,
and forwarding to them individually is way more time-consuming than just
posting here. I would think it would be .k. if people are really careful about
changing the subject line, but I suppose I could join the other list and
suggest to the subjects of interest that they do,too.There wouldn't be a lot of
posts off the topic of volunteering. Daria's point about posting what's going
on with her makes a point. When I was off the list because of health reasons a
while back a lot of people were worried, and if I'd thought of postingwhat was
happening they wouldn't have to be. On the other hand, I wouldn't have known
how many people cared about me and missed me., big smile
