Tweeters,
Unless I'm mistaken the original post was a private message to Connie, if I
wrong somebody can correct me via PRIVATE POST please. I'm not blaming
anybody but please keep private exchanges private, many of us don't expect
for private emails to become public to the list. In all cases private or
public should respect simple respectfulness (about anything can be said
without getting personal).
We all have our own opinions on what should be posted and not posted to
tweeters. However as 2 people said today, Charles Swift for one "I would
ignore it" and Hal on posting guidelines... "If you are in doubt about the
appropriateness of a
posting which has already appeared on the list, PLEASE do not post a public
comment or question about it, but PLEASE do send a message to the
listowner."
Yes, I suppose I am guilty on making it worse as I count it this is post #16
today on this subject. Can my post please be the last. Please let the
listowners handle it and if you want to give supporting statements to a
poster, please send it privately and keep private conversations off of
tweeters. I'm only posting this now because we shouldn't have to hit the
"delete" key 16 times in one day over a "guidelines" topic.

As an aside topic, for those who love more diary type topics, blogs can be a
great venue for such and will only get visitors from people who are truly
interested in hearing posts. I would have posted this privately to Dan and
Hal but would like people to please listen to what Hal had to say today and
please post on actual topics not private topics.
Thanks (and I'll go slap my hand now for violating Hal message, can I claim
for the greater good? :), and if anybody wants to comment to me, please see
my email below and send it to ME and not tweets.
