Dear Kathy's (cubed), Rachel, Melissa, and Karen:  Having just returned from
ILCA, I'm shocked and dismayed at the attacks toward the list mothers that
I've scanned.  For what it's worth, you have my deepest empathy (from the
perspective of someone who has been in your situation).  I may not always
agree with every policy or decision, but I for one absolutely support the
worldwide "movement" that you have initiated and continued by setting in
motion this wonderful resource for all LCs/lactation professionals.  Because
I don't know exactly what started this current thread, I will stay out of
the specifics and I can't really address the initiator directly (ie. I'm not
attacking them by posting this note of support); however, I really wanted to
publicly state how thankful I am for the virtually instantaneous access to
1671+ other LCs/lactation professionals worldwide.

A Heartfelt Thanks,
Chris
