NOT sure why my message didn't show up in my other email:
Whew, scary stuff here. As a new member I am a little surprised at
the rigidity of the posting process that doesn't all for direct
communication that is copied to all. (i.e. Maggie's email to Riley).
Not sure if I ever received a memo as to what is appropriate or
inappropriate, but since we aren't getting hundreds of emails and
since I can easily delete a thread that I am not interested in or
isn't relevant to me, I would propose that things be more 'chillin'
and accepting. This list is about apples and macs! Aren't we the
guy in the jeans not the suit?
