Guest guest Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 I still drink from glasses, bottles, cans...just not alcohol. I still eat...just not refined carbs. I can't think of anything I do like cigarettes. I DO drink diet colas now and then...some caffiene there. Judging by the number of private emails I have received agreeing with and/or supporting my viewpoint, people are afraid to let their thoughts be known here. Flaming? NAAAWWW???

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Kate, I commend you for posting privately. Daily, I see many posts which I'm just amazed aren't private since they are sometimes very personal, critical or of just absolutely no relevance or interest to the whole " weight loss surgery " group. Thanks, in Austin List Moderator Re: REGARADING OBSESSING > I will note that I often post to people privately, and it has nothing to do with being afraid, and everything to do with being polite, germaine, and thoughtful. But for everyone who is too " afraid " to post publicly - y'all can always write to me privately too > > Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 There are absolutely no rules about emailing people privately. If they don't want private email, it is between the sender and the receiver and has nothing to do with this board. Again, there are no list rules against emailing people privately. How could a list possibly govern private emails???? When you have your email address in a public forum, you can expect private emails. There is no way in the world a list can moderate it's members behavior off the list. in Austin List Moderator RNY April 1998 Re: REGARADING OBSESSING > > I got admit....I'm a little confused here.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 , I really think this is a personal thing. Most of the time I don't mind personal emails. There are several people that we email back and forth that I have met on these lists. However, I have gotten emails from some people that I have NO IDEA who they are and they seem to have all of this personal information about me. If I don't know who they are, the first thing I do is ask. I don't even bother to answer their questions until I know. I often will then answer their question after finding out who they are and/or refer them back to the list. It just kind of depends. Do what feels right to you. If it is a problem for the other person, they will let you know. Lori Owen - Denton, Texas CHF 4/14/01 479 lbs. SRVG 7/16/01 401 lbs.
