You can feel shame and chagrin if you want, but that is your personal
feelings. As a member of the list, and one that doesn't see what all the
hoopla is about, don't associate your same with me.

I also tried to read Wanda's posting and gave up. I couldn't see wasting my
time to respond as I have several deadlines quickly approaching and a staff
to manage. The first responses to Wanda's posting that I read mentioned the
formatting problem. Someone took offense to that and now it seems the entire
list is unfriendly, mean, cruel..... Hogwash. A significant portion of the
list's membership are hard working professional technical writers who often
bend over backwards to help fellow writers, no matter what level.
