Good morning all. I have been very busy with my children....and with stage managing a play, Singing in the Rain, in our local theater guild. I have managed to read all the digests every day, but I was out at rehearsal last night, late. I woke up to see that our able bodied Rachel (who has the advantage of 6 hours on me in terms of morning), and Kathy, an early rise, have taken care of a very nasty situation We have removed Tony Knox from the list, as he has violated the rules as stated in our list welcome note. He will be barred from joining in the future as well. We certainly hope that you will bear with us as we do our very best to maintain the pleasant and professional atmosphere on our list. Despite our own personal beliefs in terms of recent events, we must maintain a level of civility, and sensitivity, and our focus on the issues of breastfeeding. After all, mothering through breastfeeding remains one of the very best things in this life, in my opinion. I apologize to those who have felt pain as a result of the comments of this ex-subscriber. He mentions that he has support from this list. I have not seen this type of support for this rude behavior...but if anyone else supports this type of rude behavior (not speaking of the content, as we all may feel differently, and I respect this), I will be glad to give directions on how to UNSUBSCRIBE. Let's get back to breastfeeding, folks. ..and thanks for your notes of support as we move through this particular pile of cow plop. (can you tell I've been driving through meadows and cow fields lately?) Kathleen Kathleen B. Bruce, BSN, IBCLC co-owner Lactnet, Indep.
