Gary has said it all, certainly better than I could have.
But may I point out that THIS began on the "other" list. Nevertheless, it's
been addressed by both Gary and Nancy on OUR list
I honor Barbara Williams and all the other icons of our breed who come unde=
r
attack from time to time.
BUT -- this is not the "other" list. THIS list has been SO agreeable, SO
peaceful, positive, encouraging since "those" folks went and started their
own list.=20
PLEASE let them fight their battles on THEIR list. Let's keep OURS positive=
,
peaceful and encouraging. Barbara knows where she ranks in OUR hearts.
