Mary Kay,
I wasn't following this thread, but, I *hear* your words!!! PLEASE, PLEASE (whatever was going on)... don't leave this list....I believe (in my heart & soul) that we ALL play a significant role in helping mothers breastfeed their babies....EVERYONE (including myself...although I have to keep reminding myself of that!!!) has something substantial to offer....especially *my* LLL sisters - I feel ya!!!!!!!! That's why I LOVE LLL....we encompass the entire familial aspect when helping moms (not that others don't, that's just such an intricate portion of our training) Good grief I love listening to "seasoned Leaders" we have two within our group & they bring MUCH with them!!
As for whatever it was that was going on, I hope and pray that I didn't enter into a list that was comprised of a group of "turf protecting" professionals - (which, I haven't gotten that impression yet, although I wasn't following this thread!!) I feel there's enough of that from locals......

I appreciate all the heartfelt comments and am trying hard not to take
them personally. I, for one, do not hold one person responsible for the
actions of a company. My comment re: gina was meant as a reminder that
we are all in this together. This exchange and thread is one of the
reasons I have not been on Lactnet for several years. If the holier than
thou, up on the high horse fact-correcting comments were sent to me
personally I might feel differently. I have been an LC for 20 years,
LLLL Leader for 26 years and an RN for less than 10 years. I've been
active in ILCA for almost 20 years holding board positions and fully
support the Code. I have worked for Ameda and Whisper Wear, I did some
consulting for Avent and trust me - I think I know plenty about the Code
and the history of some of the companies we've been discussing. Why a
would a casual would be so taken out of context? Most likely I will only
lurk or sign off completely.
