Dear Andrea !

Please stay!!
Of course, you are right, but don't leave.
I think you told Penny what you, and at least some of us newbies ( am 
I still a newbie after 3 weeks?) feel about quite clearly now. Give 
her time to react.

I was only on the list for 3hours!, had my 3rd Post out, when I got my 
first ruffle, about the topic being discussed in Length before.
Shocked, I tried to search through the thread and I actually found it 
3 weeks back, 1100 messages before I entered. I wanted to unsubscribe 
immediatly, but I waited one day, and I got a few really friendly 
answers to my questions, so I just ignored the unfriendly ones.

Anyway, the Newbies need support as much as they can get. So perhaps 
if we remember sometimes, that a couple of weeks mean a lot of 
messages to catch up to, they wouldn't get so harsch answers. 
The nitpicking on grammar and spelling really scared me though. I 
thought I'd never be able to post anything again.I'm German and my 
English is far from being perfect.
I starteded checking through the messages, and if the tone is very 
harsch or nitpicking, I just don't answer, even if what I have to say, 
might be interesting!

So, Andrea, help the Newbies

( I`m sending letter on the main-board too, as well as Off-List ( even 
if it IS OT ;)) and hope to get some reactions
