Sharon, please do as Margaret asks and use LOAF rather than this list to
air your complaints.

You did say we had been lied to in so many words, but the statements you
made
about not being told the truth say the same thing also. I've copied a
portion of your message
below that states these things. Margaret didn't mis-quote. Statement of
others being "brainless"
etc., don't belong on ANY list IMO.

There are some listowners that have either been unsubbed from this list
because of their continual
disruptive posts that have started private sends to one another
continuing complaints....which is fine...except for one thing. *I* was
included in those sends for some reason, much to my displeasure. I sent
a message to all involved and requested that my address be removed from
the
sends. Hopefully that request WILL be honored. I am not unhappy with
anything but the continual
complaints and undermining of this list and of RW in general.

I believe that *someone* is in the background in this thing and stirring
up people and keeping the fires fanned. I sincerely hope that they get
their "just reward" for having done so.

Can't we get back to doing the jobs we are here for? C'mon folks. This
has gone on long enough.
