First, Roger I want to offer my heart felt sympathy for your fathers
diagnoses. I lost both my parents over 20 years and know what it is like to
watch them deteriorate before your eyes.

Secondly, Tony, what ever Rogers motives are for sending this email is
frankly irrelevant because he is, in fact, pointing out a serious problems
with email lists. Keep in mind, I am not accusing you of this because I
have recently lost my ability to read minds; but the fact is there are
people on these lists that seem to want to use them just to stir trouble and
talk down to people. They are often people who look for the bad in
everything and can see nothing good in anything. Many a time I send posts
thinking one thing, only to find that someone twists and turns something
that I have said, into something that never even entered my mind. If we (as
humans) have a problem with civility, then that problem should be addressed,
even if we are reminded of it by a raving lunitic. Truth is Truth no matter
who the messanger is. I. E. do what they say and not what they do.

Thirdy, (lousy parallelism), I would like to personally apologize for ever
saying anything that has been turned into something that was never meant,
and in doing so, have inadvertantly hurt someone that I don't even know.

Jay Webler

P. S. For those of you do not seem be able to focus on the main point, I
am not calling Roger Garett a raving lunatic. I have a great deal of
respect for him and others, including Tony, on this list for their
contributions. I put this disclaimer only becuase I have seen how people
will twist and turn things for no other reason than to just stir the pot.
