[nagdu] one sided representing on guide dog school list

[Margo and Elmo]

Thanks, jenine, for the clarification.  People on any list are not always 
gong to like what we say or what we post or misunderstand what we post.

I figure if the moderators of a list allow this or that or don't like 
something I've posted or the way I've posted it, I'll know for sure.
