George, I have to agree with Jean. Personal messages should go privately. The other lists I am on require the same. It has nothing to do with 10 hour work days, etc. but the purpose of the page. Jean may be the most efficient person on earth and still be putting in a 10 hour day, but that's not the point. Your message was unnecessarily bitchy. You could have made your point without attacking Jean. Please keep such comments to yourself.
