Making a new list is part of the larger problem.  We keep fragmenting
ourselves instead of pulling/sharing together.  And if some of the more
experienced people on LN need to mind their manners and not be condescending
to newbies, then so be it.

I do also realize that there is a need for people to get together for
camaraderie, comiseration and support (like the hospital-based LCs list),
but be careful you don't pool your ignorance - and I mean this kindly.  In
years gone by I went to sessions where that is what we did and no one gained
from it, it was frustrating.  Use a separate list as an adjunct to Lactnet,
not as a replacement.  Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
