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.

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.
