I usually stay out of these discussions when they get heated, but I would urge you to be careful here, Rebecca. Maybe the client asked the professional to email the list because she's busy; ;maybe the client doesn't have a working computer yet; maybe she's interested in joining the list and plans on doing so later. We really don't know. And this was really just a question about traveling independently with a very young child when the thread was started. The professional just asked for suggestions about that. No need to blow things way out of proportion. Thanks.

Neither claim is based on well established fact, but one is much more damaging and unfounded than the other. We're simply asking you to be more sensitive and less harsh and critical when you express your opinions so that new members--and perhaps veteran ones--feel free to ask questions on the list.
