Guidelines
* Avoid Cross Posting
* Avoid TOTALLY Off Topic
* Please avoid cause advocacy. If you are passionate about a cause do this: Find (or create) a group focused on that cause. Then post ONE simple message saying there is a need for action, with a link for information and further discussion. DO NOT TELL THE WHOLE STORY. This will divert the conversation to another list.
* Keep the list a safe haven. DO NOT FIGHT ON THIS LIST. Please do not scold people in public. If you feel heat, anger, indignation and you must respond - PLEASE DO IT OFF LIST. If you think an animal wants to say something scolding to Mom/Dad, tell them off list. If you want to offer an unrequested "you should" to someone, do it off list. Also do not defend yourself on list. Do it privately. You will be promptly removed if you flame a fight.
