In fact, I met and became friends with Newton BEFORE joining PTG after retiring from teaching. The demise of this List is unnecessary and borderline cruel...but mostly just a stupid move by people who don't use it and can't possibly recognize its value.<br><br>Forgive the length of this post...I have another experience to relate. I do post on HL to the ChapterNewsWire group, as I am the editor of the Chicago Chapter newsletter. (The old ChapterNewsWire is still working...I'll bet that's history after April Fool's!) I have successfully uploaded the newsletter to the group on HL but it ALWAYS takes more than one try...it never feels like the steps are the same two months in a row! The most telling situation is that while in past years (I've been editor for 10 years now) there have been a dozen or so newsletters arriving in my e-mail box, since the HL site was instituted (and highly touted), I now see two, maybe three, occasionally four newsletters...so my fellow editors have departed the HL scene in droves. (Albeit small droves.)<br><br>Too bad.</span></b><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><strong><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#C00000'>Stan Ryberg </span></strong><b><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#C00000'><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Barrington IL </span></strong><br><strong><u><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'><a href="mailto:jstan40@sbcglobal.net"><span style='font-weight:normal'>jstan40@sbcglobal.net</span></a></span></u></strong></span></b><o:p></o:p></p></div></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
