Iris-l postings....

	Greetings,

	I just went through a vexing period on one of my other mailing
lists re topics and 'personal' messages being posted...the upshot is some
people have left the list,etc.  I was not "involved" with any of the dis-
agreements - but I was subjected to them ad nauseum and my deletion key
got a good work-out.  

	I would hate to see this very special list go through that sort of
thing but Bob Kromenaker had a point and so does Mike Lowe - I just agree
with everyone....and I have started to delete more and more often but
that is what happens when lists grow.  I am one who has to 'watch the 
clock' with my network but I think Iris-l is worth every minute of my
time on-line.  I have learned much more than I thought in just over a
month on this special list.  Talk about rambling posts..

	Cheers,

	Ellen Gallagher, Lancaster, NH - USDA Zone 3 (along with Lee)
