Earlier, someone asked: > How many people try to join this list who have no sponsers? > At least one :) When I wanted to join, I just filled in the application and sent it in. (I did write a longer essay than most applicants, I think, trying to justify my interest and vouch for my intent to be a positive, not a negative, on the list.) Margery Golant sent me a very nice welcome letter, and said that since she was one of the Admins & was processing my application, she would be my sponsor. I don't think she's gotten any complaints about me ... which doesn't mean that one of you needs to go rushing to make one up!! Cheers, Leslie -- Leslie M.
