list behavior

[J Patrick Draine]

Dear Friends,
I just thought I'd cross-post a couple lines from the moderator of 
another list that I subscribe to. Looks like good advice to me.


>For the next couple days, if it helps to use these lists as a place to talk
>about what is going on in your life please feel free to use them for that
>purpose. There is no room for profanity or name calling ever on our lists
>but there is always room for us to be human, and work through what is going
>on in our lives.

>There are also some of us who need an outlet and distraction from the deluge
>of news and information, so please continue to use the lists for their
>intended purposes; don't forget the greater purpose of learning and
>experiencing the blessing of life and community. Please read all your
>messages twice before clicking send, make room for grace and love, and allow
>others to work through their grief in their own ways,

Best wishes in these hard times,
Patrick Draine
