Jane and list,

Just wanted to let you know that I happened to be in the process of
applying for a booth at the Burlington Coat Factory's baby fair
here in Phoenix (scheduled for June 6) when your e-mail came across.

I immediately called them, told them the situation in Little Rock and
asked what their policy was.  They assured me that the have no
problems with moms breastfeeding in the store etc. and that they
would not ask anyone to leave or anything of the sort, in fact, they
will be having LCs at the baby fair.

I drove the point with them that this happened this week in Little
Rock, and that the community here would not put up with it happening
here.  She all but swore to me that it would never happen.

Just thought it might make you feel a little better that it is just
one isolated group of morons!
