...The list is a bit friendlier than in past years, but I miss the fire plugs of the past who had strong opinions about this "sport"...most of the list members are adults and yeah things have on occasion gotten out of hand...misunderstaings being the biggest problem...talking on a computer as I have said many times is an extremly poor way to communicate...tone, facial expression, and other forms of non-verbal communication are lost during an e-mail to 700 PEOPLE....I get more information to my students regarding their misbehavior many times by not saying one word!...my facial expression says it all....but that being said how else can I talk to all you CRAZIES at the same time......oh yeah...one more thing...if you don't feed your dog the way I feed mine, you're a &^%$.....lol...oops did I say something wrong?.....FB ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
