Must be the time of year. Some people seem to be more cranky (read, nasty) than usual this week...hopefully they'll all have a good weekend and get over themselves. I'm on a private list...it's by invitation only, but before anyone can be invited, the whole list is supposed to have the opportunity to say "NO" to anyone proposed. Tonite, the moderator (who is filling in for the usual moderator) added someone to the list...without proposing him........well, guess what? Half the list is quitting. Talk about temper tantrums, nasty emails, vicious criticisms, and all the rest of the things people do when they have their knickers in a twist....... Maybe each of us needs to take a pill or something...or at least a good stiff drink.......
