Guest guest Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 I am sure you do not have to start another list for this topic, Just do search for the topic. I am sure there is one out there already. Thank you, Elite in Idaho, USA Your Tupperware Consultant There are some great sales going on with Tupperware right now. elite Sant & Brown [santbrown] Sunday, June 01, 2003 3:01 PM Netiquette and off-list chat Dunno about the rest of you, but I do appreciate the fact that some of us have been straying away from the *vegetarian* thrust of this list - and I happily/unhappily contributed to it too. I would do so again if I thought that it would help someone through a tough patch - and sometimes onlist postings encourage others to chime in and offer advice too. However, that said, I will be happy to take any such discussions off list ;=) Maybe someone would like to form a kinda mini-list for chatting about bipolar disorder, ADD, and anything else of the kind? If so, I'd be happy to join in where appropriate. (I'm not bipolar, but I've hit some horrendous depressive episodes, some lasting for years and requiring very serious meds.) Even a handful of people might like to *share* their thoughts and problems and experiences together rather than on a one-to-one basis offlist. It helps. And that we are all vegetarians gives us something more in common than the bipolar, etc., thingie. Just a thought. Count me in, anyway ;=) Starting up a list is easy - and you can make it private and by invitation only too, if you like.

I think the point is that the people discussing the 'topic', as you call it, were getting benefit from talking to the other people who were also discussing the 'topic' - in other words, they/we were chatting to their/our cyber friends *on this list*. Another list would provide, initially at least, a strange environment where people might not feel so free to chat straight away. Sometimes, with this 'topic', it is important to have someone to talk to *now*. Having discussion cut off suddenly and unexpectedly and maybe even arbitrarily makes for a need to be able to resume it asap, I would think. Anyway, there was really no need to start, say, this vegetarian list - there are lots of those out there too, but we are all pleased that Feral Vegetarian exists ;=) Best, Pat -- SANTBROWN townhounds/ http://www.angelfire.com/art/pendragon/ ---------- * " He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men.
