>> I think the lesson here is not not to post but rather something else. Don't be concerned about posting when you can contribute something but be certain to: --make your thoughts clear and precise as you can; --be careful about loaded words such as saying reckless (which I avoided) that do no good, muddy the waters and whatever point you want to get across; --if your posting is about some specific person, identified or anonymous, write as if that person will read it; --write as if your worse enemy or critic will read it...leave him/her no ammunition to use against you, i.e. be honest, forthright and fair and you will have nothing to fear; --most importantly, make certain that what you say contributes in some positive way to some good. I think a lot of the discussion around JFK Jr of a few months ago and now has been honest, forthright and fair. So congratulations all around. I use to work with a woman whose biggest compliment was to refer to some one as a "grown-up"...I think a lot of PaddleWisers are grown-ups (well, with the exception of a few who I won't name...:-)) cheers, ralph diaz >> Good rules for anyone writing e-mail.
