We expect subscribers to read the guidelines sent them when they join the list 
and to take them seriously.  Encouraging readers to shun other subscribers is 
not within the guidelines.  Neither is engaging in discussions that fall outside 
the subject of Lactnet, which is supporting breastfeeding mothers and their 
children.  Specifically, opinions on the appropriateness of, or need for, 
childhood immunization by vaccines are not on topic for Lactnet.  Posts about 
vaccines taken while breastfeeding or while being breastfed, as they relate to 
breastfeeding, are of course welcome, as are posts on a whole bunch of other 
sometimes controversial topics AS THEY RELATE TO BREASTFEEDING.  

So, play nice, everybody. Presumably you are all on this list of your own free 
will, because of your interest in protecting, promoting and supporting 
breastfeeding.  You can air your differences about other topics elsewhere. Our 
archives will show that it is not only possible, but necessary for a fruitful 
exchange of ideas and knowledge, to respect each other, also while 
disagreeing. Respecting each other and having a sense of humor are *not* 
mutually exclusive.
