PLEASE READ!!

[Guest guest]

Trying to be fair to everyone, I created a poll to see what our list really

wants..........we have 483 members and sad to say, only 18 have voted.

So, I am closing the poll immediately.

To those who have said, "just delete it"........it is hard to do that when you

are an Owner or Moderator.....even if the subject line has a warning, it is

still the duty of the Owner to read each and every message. And by the

way, there were no subject line warnings from Stu until the last couple of

postings.

To the comment made that "we can't be who we really are", "haven't we

given up enough?" Well, that is what I am trying to do --- be who I really

am! I am not perfect, nor am I a Saint, but I do not like to hear filth and

profanity and I should not have to.....I have rights also.

As for the comment made that "always someone that has to have something

to worry about so they can have something to do"!! For your information, I

have PLENTY to do and it is not sitting at a computer writing filth!

I am sorry if I have hurt anyone's feelings, I was just doing what I thought was

right and best for the list........I belong to several lists and NOT ONE are we

allowed to use filth on..........I am only sorry that only 18 people out of 483 saw

fit to express their opinion........sad............

I have to take care of myself and live with myself. I have not slept for 2 nights

worrying over this and it has to stop. I have been very, very, ill this past year

and still have a ways to go before I am back to my old self. I just do not have the

energy to fight this any longer. I have my own integrity and I have to live

with myself. So, I will be leaving the list as soon as Yahoo processes it.

I wish you all the best -- good luck............you will all be in my thoughts and

prayers........

With a VERY HEAVY and SAD heart,
