I understand she is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer....

but it could be an explanation for erratic behaviour.

Dear Pat and Fellow Admins:

Cancer runs rampant in my family. Many have undergone
Chemo therapy without this result. I currently have
a couple of list members that I know have cancer and are
undergoing treatment. One has let me know that death
is near, but is still a bit unpredictable. They are
behaving absolutely wonderfully, especially considering
what they are personally experiencing. I consider their
health information to be private and not for publication.

Unless one has some sort of brain tumor, I doubt that
chemotherapy can explain erratic behaviour. The woman
seems unbalanced, confused at best. My grandmother
died of a cancer of the brain.

I believe that it is time for all those that have issues
with Maggie Peters to report them to the Help Desk, not
fellow list admins, that can only opine and commisserate.
The Help Desk, given enough solid information can deal
with Ms. Peters, without anyone dragging her health history,
fact or fiction, into conversation on an archived list.

Remember, odd behaviour or not, this is a person that we
are speaking of. If she is ill, that is a private matter.

and may be a wee bit testy
