John, I can tell you from experience, when I was more active with the group, myself and sometimes several others would respond to the individuals directly (as opposed to through the freelist.) Unfortunately, speaking ONLY for myself, I have NOT been responding to the recent ones because I haven't been on top of playdates, etc. (Kids in preschool 5 days a week does that to a guy!) I always responded and tried to give a specific day and time of a scheduled playdate that I knew I would MOST likely be attending. That way they could at least know that SOMEONE would be there if they chose to go. It gave them a person to "look for" rather than just hanging out there. SO, I say GO FOR IT John!! > > From: "John Elliott" <jelliott_2727@xxxxxxxx> > Date: 2005/01/11 Tue PM 04:20:53 GMT > To: <cinci_dads@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: [cinci_dads] Re: FW: > > Tim, > > When you forward hits from the website wanting information about the group, > what are you expecting from the guys?
