Dear Friends-

Last Fall, a group of us "met" and discussed the brand name issue and
made a recommendation to the list moms.  At that time, it was declared
that you can go ahead and type MEDELA and CARNATION and ADVENT and PUMP
'N STYLE.  You shouldn't use M-D-L- or P--- N S---- or A-----, esp
because many of our international list members are left out. It's like
speaking Piglatin in front of your little sister: rude or ineffective.
Also, if people can figure it out, it does not protect you or Lactnet
from being charged with libel. So go ahead and use the name. Please keep
all comments and questions about companies professional in nature and
tone.
And save us from having to play "Wheel of Fortune" here at home.

Warmly-
Judy Gelman
