I'm a new subscriber to this list and am ready to sign off. I thought I
joined
a professional discussion list, but have seen little of that in the
two weeks I've been a member. This profession would benefit from a
lot less whining and a lot more focus on bigger issues.
Kimberly,
A couple of months ago when I was brand new to the list I witnessed a similar
squabble and wrote a post much like yours. I was ready to sign off the list but
some members wrote me to say give it another try, you really can get some great
information here. They also reminded me that there is a delete key and that I
don't have to read all the posts that come through. They were right. I can
delete (and do) a lot of the posts but I've needed help on several occasions and
these folks have never failed me. They are a wonderful resource and I'd be lost
without them.
Regards,
Juley
