Dear Lactnetters -

Please accept my sincere apology for forwarding a Lactnet posting to other
lists - without deleting references to Lactnet or to the identity of the
original "poster" (whose permission I also failed to ask).  For an
explanation, please see the following...

Dear Barbara -

I'm a very recent subscriber to Lactnet as well as a computer neophyte
whose
netiquette is still rusty.  When I saw your Lactnet post of the Newsweek
article
on pitocin and autism, I forwarded it to the midwife/childbirth
educator/doula
lists as I knew they would be interested in it.  I failed to ask you for
permission to forward it.  I also could have (and should have) deleted any

reference to your name or to Lactnet and simply forwarded the quote of the

Newsweek article.  Please accept my sincere apology and I resolve to be
more
discrete in the future.  Your friend Nancy Penney was kind enough to point
this
out to me.  I will post this apology to Lactnet as well.

Nancy -

Thanks for the well-deserved slap on the wrist.  I'm a relative "newbie" so
my
netiquette is still rusty.  No, I did not ask Barbara Wilson-Clay for
permission to forward her post and that was an unfortunate oversight on my

part.  I'll post to her and apologize.
