Don't apologise to Jane, apologise to Geraldine!!! This list is going (has gone?) to the dogs! Apologies to the dogs.

Please note the section on netiquette, especially: No harassment or ad hominem/ad feminam attacks on members or non-members, whether posted to the list or backchanneled. No importing or redistribution of claims relating to arguments on other lists. This discussion began with Geraldine's lament for a murdered child, a lamentation I share. The grief has shifted all too easily to a verbal attack on a fellow poet and the business of another list. It's horrible to read this stuff, and very destructive of the list. As co-manager, I apologize to Jane. Mairead
