I just had to unsub from the CORNISH-L website because I was getting over 600 e-mails a day. Now THAT's busy! Personally, I thought the snowballs were fun...and they did not last but a couple of days, whereas the Virtual Christmas Party on the CORNISH-L list started before Thanksgiving and is still going on hot and heavy!

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.
