In response to Karen Lemieux's concerns about some of the things on
LACTNET, perhaps she (and any others with similar feelings) could simply be
more selective about what--from LACTNET--you choose to share.  I suspect
that some of the humorous things might actaully break the ice with the
"unbelievers," but then you know your audience better than I.

The point is: LACTNET has many virtues and strengths. Some will be more
valued than others and a few might not be valued except by a very select
few.  But, like a smorgasbord table loaded down with a variety of foods, it
is there for us to sample and share as we choose.  No one expects you all
to take all of it in, though a few voracious readers will.

Use what works for you; save the rest for another day, another audience...
