[HPforGrownups] An Elfly Reminder

[Katherine Coble]

No: HPFGUIDX 157051

Perhaps the elfly reminder should have gone to the individual in  
question and not the whole list.

I've been on this group for YEARS--sometimes I post frequently,  
mostly I just lurk.   I appreciate all the work the list-elves do.    
But I have to say that this group IS HPforGrownups, and sometimes I  
feel that with all the monitoring,  the group loses sight of that  
little "grownups" part of the name.

Grownups sometimes say "smart-ass".  Grown-ups also have vigorous  
exchanges.   This group, although ostensibly for "Grownups" seems to  
be given over to treating all the Grown-ups as though they are 12.

Sorry.  Just my opinion.
