Everyone,

It is a sad day when individuals feel compelled to start censoring their
comments to Lactnet for fear of being sued.  Or out of fear that a
Lactnet subscriber may take it upon themselves, without permission from
the author, to forward posts to corporation.

Does this mean that the “rules” of the game have changed?  Does this
mean that if you don't like what someone writes, you can forward that
post to another individual or corporation, just to silence the person
you disagree with?

This is about freedom of speech.  This is about critical inquiry.  This
is about asking *very* important questions. This is about taking part in
dialogue and about sharing information.  This is about demanding the
truth.  This is about making a difference in the lives of mothers and
babies, rather than making money.

Yes, it is a very sad day, indeed.  For Lactnet.  And for mothers and
babies everywhere.

P.S.  To the Lactnet listmothers, I understand what you had to do, and
that you had to do it.  This message is not meant to blame you.  Thank
you for giving us Lactnet.
