Dear Readers,
I would like to thank anyone who has contributed to information
and knowledge to this listserv in the past. In the last two days there has been
some conversation that is not appropriate for any listserv and will not
be tolerated on this listserv. I realize that sometimes our passion gets in the
way of facts and being rational but it cannot be shared in a way that is
unprofessional and abusive. This is a public listserv that not just
serves you but some 350+ other readers. There is a code of ethic that
MUST be maintained at all times!
Please regard this as a notice to anyone who considers venting
in an inappropriate way on this list serv. You must keep all responses
professional at all times. Conversations that result in name calling, unethical,
or unprofessional words will not be tolerated on this listserv. Persons
choosing to use this listserv to harass, hurt, abuse or simply be rude will be
promptly removed from this listserv. Please use this listserv as a means
to share useful information that is true and relevant. I hope that this message
is clear and respected. I look forward to professional, and respectful conversations
and information in the upcoming year.
I am sorry about a couple of readers’ poor decisions to
share inappropriate words. I trust they will not use this listserv in the future
for their personal and unprofessional agenda. In fact an apology would be
appreciated to the group.
I am very sorry for being host to this behavior. I enjoy this
listserv as a resource and hope everyone can be respectful and professional in
the future.
Very Sincerely,
Vicki Morrone
