Meredith,
Please don't post a response to my post over on the MLC thread. there are a few reasons why I chose to post here and not post there. I think Pen was doing a good thing when she decided to leave that thread alone....and I also think it was your trying to support her that might have raised the angst levels all around and stirred the hornet's nest.

I think your or even my posting on that thread just further disturbs the peace, and I hope that you might come to the same conclusion...this isn't about a running dialogue of you defending one side and me the other...I was actually trying to mediate here and ask you, perhaps, to see 'the other side' just as you seemed to be asking LBSs to see yours. The comment about being hammered was just because I am having a bad week...and most anything seems to cause me to dissolve into tears. SO, since you would like to respond, but don't want to muck up Bets' thread, why not just email me at : coloradomtgirl@aol.com?

Thanks a bunch,
gd
