Dear Phoenix List members:
I have just been informed by Carolyn that my post requesting information
about the auction may have been a "put down" of those of you who have
donated and those of you who are participating. My sincerest apologies; I
in no way intended to do so. I simply didn't understand what it was all
about and was requesting information.
However, I am about to break my first rule of internet etiquette - posting
a part of a private message to the list without permission. On Tue, 07 Dec
1999 09:31:15, Carolyn Schaffner said:
"You are not obligated to donate, or to bid or to participate in any way!
But any further foray into this kind of hostile remark will get you
removed from this privately managed ROBIN!"
I consider that to be an unreasonable, over-reactive, and hostile response
to my post (original below). So it is with regret that I will resign from
this Privately Managed ROBIN, and seek a hosta list that is managed by
adults. Some of you will say 'Good riddance," I'm sure, and that is your
right. I'll see the rest of you on hosta-open.
Gerry O'Neill
