Bob if you think there should be a members only list then set one up - have the PC set one up but it will not stop non members from talking about what is going on nor will it stop others from finding out what is happening. You simply can not put a gag order on whole club. If all members ' do not like what is being said all they have to do is delete do not read or listen to what non members have to say. I have never pulled any punches- I dropped out of the PC 2 yrs ago not on a whim but after many years of frustrations. After reading the posts lately I see nothing has changed.The things that happened to me are happening to others today. Nothing changes So I suggest to anyone who does not want my opinions block me. don't read me -- Sally www.embroiderybysally.org updated with new designs ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
