This list is going (has gone?) to the dogs! Apologies to the dogs.

Subject: [-SPAM-] Netiquette
Dear All,
I'm posting the British + Irish Poets Welcome
Message separately. 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.
