TSGL: Messages not going through ??

[jonpan]

Olivia,

Thank you for your comments.

You do realise that I am trying to avoid the dissolution of the list?

My remarks were addressed to the active members, some of whom are 
considering
withdrawing their participation.

I would prefer  your support in my endeavours and hope the list can be
rescued.

John

Hello John
You state
<Oh, guys, just shrug your shoulders and think, "I'll do what I can...">
With an attitude like that from you and evidently the vast majority of the
members it's no wonder the list is run so poorly.
Olivia
