Ernene, Paddy, Liz, Jeanne, and anyone else who may have posted or thought of posting about my reply to Kerry - You are all very sweet to have provided postings of support. However, if you noticed, I was very explicit in my reply to Kerry. I think she got the message. Remember that she is a newbie to the list. We do welcome her but she needs to know that we have a certain culture on this list, which differs from Internet culture in general. No on goes for the jugular on this list if we can possibly avoid it. We would far rather help than undercut each other. So, let's move forward. Thank you, one and all. I must have been thick-headed to have had to re-subscribe after all that wondering on my part. Everyone else seems to have figured it out just fine. That's great - I was worried that you all were not still on the list. Have a great evening, Sharon C. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ernene Smedley" <ernene@tpg.com.au> To: <irl-clare@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2006 5:50 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-CLARE] response to Kerry > Kerry > I am not going to make a big issue out of this.
