Thank you for that, Madeleine. Your last line "to get to know one another
better"allows us to continue on the list, bearing in mind what you said about
the fact that posts are not private and anyone can access them. If a person
with medical problems chooses to post them(and many have in the past, and we
offer support and/or prayers)bearing in mind your reminder about privacy, they
are warned, and we, i.e., the rest of us, won't pass on information given to us
privately. There are things I've been told privately, not medical or health
issues that I've been asked not to share, and I've respected those requests.
In fact, I think in one case, I've assumed an u plainspoken privacy request and
not passed on information given to me offlist. actually, anything sent to me
privately that I think without being told should not be shared, especially as
regards health, or facts that I suspect some people on the list might not agree
with, I do not post. My
parents brought me to not discuss politics or religion outside the family,
smile, and I keep those discussions off list, as well as other people's health
problems unless they are first posted on the list. smile
