One of the things that I think is so great about Lactnet is that we are all
equals. Each of us can pose questions. Each of us can respond. Everyone has
their area of expertise & we all learn from one another. Sometimes I get to
thinking about all the well-known people on Lactnet, but that doesn't mean
that those who are not as well-known have any less value. We all have
experience and value. That is what I like about Lactnet--Everyone has value &
equal opportunity to voice their opinions.
