Pat Cihon I agree about all of our services (such as the listing of employment opportunities that Dan keeps, etc. ), but I don't think it is reasonable to expect Dan Herron to monitor or censor what we say to one another. The notice was included in a message from a list member, as I understood it, not by Dan. He cannot be responsible for what we say to each other, either at annual meetings where ALSB rents the space or over the net. But the membership can hold members responsible for their own behavior. I know reasonable people could, and do, disagree about this. Ginny
