Just to piggy-back on Kathleen's note here...

If you have thoughts about the future of the list, would you please do is a
favor :-) and send them to the listowners at
[log in to unmask]  That way we will be sure to see them
and it will reduce traffic to the list which is a problem for some
subscribers.

Again, we are not interested in "kicking off" anyone who genuinely wishes to
participate and/or read and learn.  I am on one or two closed lists and only
had to give the briefest of reasons why I wanted to join.  In one case it
was "I am interested in this and want to learn more."

No-one needs to freak out just yet.  ;-)  If you want to be on Lactnet *that
badly* than you certainly are qualified to be on the list and we are happy
to have you here.

Kathy
