I subscribe to several lists as well. If I have the time, I open and read
messages: If I do not have time , I wait to read them another time or delete
them. (there will be another roll call and, might I add, these folks are
dead....they aren't going anywhere.)
What I DO NOT have time for is reading the bickering and nonproductive
banter to which I'm adding. Could we please get back to the task at hand
and do some friendly sharing?
Best regards to all, Renee
