I asked politely for us not to carry on with flaming of one another and to communicate in respectful ways. Since certain ones have chosen to ignore my request I have placed the list on a moderated status and will decide which messages get through and which ones do not. Anyone who insists on attempting to send hurtful messages will be unsubscribed. We are intelligent individuals, have our own political leanings and know the difference between respectful disagreement and outright ugliness. I hope you will all feel free to continue to make your contributions to discussions. Your messages will be a little slower in getting through since I will have to read each one first before deciding to pass it on. If your message is not allowed you will receive a note explaining why. Thanks for your cooperation and understanding. Jim
