Is this possible? Hello All, and thanks so much to Linda for her response. Although I did get one private response, I was also really surprised that so few responded. I do not want our private group discussions to be public fodder...period. My vote is this: I want to change to a private listserv, if such a thing is even possible. If this is not possible, or only for a fee, we should have a group discussion so that we can make an intelligent decision about this breach of privacy. I would like to hear what the rest of you think. Hope all is well, and welcome back from your trip, Linda! Cheryl
