Hi all, Judy Ritchie in particular, Judy, we do appreciate your ON topic posts, so keep 'em coming! The post on thimerosal which admittedly had 'off topic' in the subject line, was too far off topic for Lactnet. The word breastfeeding, or even 'feeding' does not appear in it anywhere. Also, approximately half the digest, 225 of 556 lines, consisted of this one off topic message. So, to all of you: if you have something you think some of the other subscribers might like to know about but it is off topic for this list, you may send a short note to Lactnet saying 'I have some info on a report about thimerosal in vaccines (for example), which is off topic for Lactnet. Anyone interested may contact me off the list.' Period. Then you have to be ready to send e-mails to the people who ask for it. From experience I can say this is not an insurmountable task. Also, attachments are never sent on Lactnet. What consenting adults do off the list is not of concern to the listmothers, you may exchange attachments as much as your hearts desire. on behalf of the listmothers Rachel Myr Kristiansand *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
