Realistically, if APH no longer runs a Book Port list, some third-party person will take over and do so anyway. This does have its advantages.

Hi listers: Shelly you said: Mere Threats. Don't worry.You know folks, I've been on a number of lists and I've never seen such a mean spirited group of people. I wouldn't blame Pam if she had the list dumped. This is a very helpful list but we can do without all of the arrogance and nastiness. Some of you are probably thinking, just use the delete key, and I do. But why go on and on and on and on and on about the same thing. Just take the conversation off list.Pam, I give you a lot of credit for dealing with this. Catalina and TristanFor attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.Audrey Hepburn Email and MSN: catroi@xxxxxxx Skype: pigwidgeon----- Original Message ----- From: "Blomstrom, Shelly J" <Shelly.J.Blomstrom@xxxxxxxxxx>To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 4:23 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: Please don't take down the listMere Threats.
