This Mailinglist - another vote for sanity

[Judy & Lindsay Roberts]

I'm an older guy - sixty years old in fact - and I have to say that I am
intimidated by comments that are presented pleasantly even in lists such as
this.  The moderator may have to "take the bull by the horns" and remove
'abuser's fr the list.
We join such list to help and be helped.   If we don't like the advice
given, we can withdraw, as you would from the tennis club or what-ever.  But
I agree, suitable standards must be met.
