Hello Ruth & others: I too am fairly new to this list (about a week or so). I was not upset by Neals post. However, I had received the info on my high school reunion list about a month ago from one of my former classmates. He works for NASA or a Univeristy or something similar. Neals post was very similar if not word for word his post. However, this info could have been in newspapers or in other publications, I think. I took it in what I felt was the spirit in which it was given, as a sort of public service announcement of poss interest to a great number of people. Those interested would make a note on their calendars & those not interested would ignore it. However, someone named Liz took exception to the fact that he didn't give credit to the author & as Neal stated, he just got it as a post from another list he is on. Liz not only took exception & berated him, but also put a 3X hex or curse on him & he has been booted from the list. Judge not, so you be not judged. Anyway Ruth this is my understanding of the situation. --- RLugowski@aol.com wrote: > Hey everyone, > > I don't know many of you on the list and you > probably don't know me.
