Annabelle,
First of all, I don't know that we've actually reached a consensus on the above. I am now inclined to be even more suspicious of "moderation."
Since when can we not publicly congratulate a fellow lister on an accomplishment. If only one word is necessary, so be it!
My other posts, though brief, were to the point and not merely "me too's." If you see it another way, fine--but I do not agree, and am not likely to any time soon.
IMHO, the attempt at "moderation" could all too easily become a snipe-fest by narrow minded posters who feel a need to carp about who is and who is not being polite or observing the rules.
I personally am not afraid of a good argument, and although I see no need for ad hominem attacks, I fear that the mindset of some of our listers seems (for me, at least) uncomfortably narrow and restrictive!
My three cents!
Judy not planning on changing my posting habits
