Dear Debbie,
 You need a collective "LACTNET HUG"  from all 1100 of us. Here is is
HUUUUUUUGGGGGG!!!!!!  Feel those 1100 arms(oops 2200)?  Feeling like a very
moderate person myself, it always amazes me when people react that way.  Only
going to conferences and talking with other breastfeeding counselors did I
realize it wasn't me alone.  When you continue to give correct information in
the face of disbelief--it doesn't matter if you are right, you just arn't
buckling under to the status quo.  That wonderful quote from Voltaire belongs
here--about it being dangerous to be right when all the rest of the world is
wrong.

Alright LACTNETTERS.  It's time for a list.  What are all the things we have
been called, negative, positive, or otherwise.  I'll keep  the list and post
the whole thing as we gather them.  Lets see how many names or phrases we can
collect, mild to radical.  Debbie needs us!

Negative:
1.  "Nipple Nazi"


Cute or positive:
1.  Lacto-Lady
2.  Lactitian
3.  Boob-Lady
4.  Milk Maid or Milk Nurse
5.  Dairy Queen
