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... >----- Forwarded message ([log in to unmask](midasgold)) -----< 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. - Deanna Goldberg >----- Forwarded message ([log in to unmask](midasgold)) -----< 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. - Deanna Goldberg On May 14, 1996 07:36:59, 'Dave Penney <[log in to unmask]>' wrote: >As I'm sure you're aware, there has been much discussion on LACTNET recently >about the propriety of quoting and >forwarding each others' messages.
