I've ...Joyce I totally understand your hesitation. I've remained on the sidelines a lot for the same reason - I always felt my comments were insufficiently informed.<BR/>But I do like this format better than forwarded emails, I think, because the discussion opens up a bit more. And I realized that when I talk with you or Gale or anyone else, I don't footnote everything I say but rather speak from experience and perspective, which is just as legitimate.<BR/>My biggest problem I think is writing too much. As you can see I tend to go on and on without editing myself. Sometimes the more pithy responses are easier to respond to in kind and spark discussion, even if you feel they are inadequate.
