Hi, Susan, Your post below -- is in response to one I made. I've been told very often that I'm TOO MUCH an open book --- Please share in a every day bark bark manner what you are indicating to/for/against ME? IF I muddle things up it certainly is not on purpose. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone, it is NEVER MY INTENTION TO DO SO. I know some folks who do feel this way about me and I will always appreciate them and, quite often folks who, like you - maybe - feel I'm what ever otherwise.

However, on this list, rarely are multiple sides presented. Often there seems to be a small amount of information spun just right to get everyone up in arms. Or if the information manipulation fails or worse backfires, suddenly the people who were crucifying based on limited information are now singing the praises of the persons they just verbally hung! Transparency is great if you get to see all sides of the situation, but the manipulation that goes on on this list supposedly for the sake of informing the members is sickening. Being open on this list seems to be more of spreading gossip and hearsay. Shooting the messenger is not the right idea but taking his/her information with a substantial crystal of salt is a wise idea. It is election time. Susan w.
