[nagdu] Welcome to our list

[Marsha Drenth]

Jenny, 

This list by no means is perfect. As all email lists with a particular topic
we can have our rough spots, we have our arguments, and our heated topics.
But generally, we are good. As the Moderator, I try very very very hard to
keep people on topic, being nice and not judgmental. We can disagree, but I
will not tolerate flaming, bashing, and out right meanness. The list is
being watched all the time, I check messages several times a day. Marion
reads messages. And if there is more trouble that we don't catch there is
always David Andrews, list owner. We have a pretty good team here. 

If at any point you feel someone is being mean, judgmental, and sending you
nasty messages, please let me know  immediately. And of course that goes for
everyone. This list is not for me, it's not for you, and it's for all of us.


Again welcome to the list!
Marsha, Moderator

Subject: Re: [nagdu] Welcome to our list

thank you so much for everyone's kind words.  

It makes me a little less worried about sharing things about myself.  

I'm 38 and married to the best husband ever.  I just spoke to Marian, who
reassured me that I wouldn't get attacked on this list and if it happens it
will be handled.  

That makes me feel better.  I've got some things I need to deal with while
I'm in the process of waiting for everything to happen for the application
process and then waiting for a dog, but the school is willing to work with
those things and that makes me very comfortable with dealing with them.

I have to say though, I was never warm and fuzzy about the school I
attended.  The first time I gave them a chance cause they were the closest
to my house at the time cause I lived in Florida, and the second because I
was tricked into it.  

Believe me though, I have no grand delusions of a perfect school or a
perfect dog, smile.  They have their flaws as do we all.  I'm willing to
work with that, if it something that can be worked with, and if the school
is willing to help me do so.  

I have an open mind and an open heart so I hope you'll all get to know me
better.

keep it good. Larry might have put it well. Lurk until you feel you can
post; but don't stay away from posting too long. You gain from both
procedures. We're sure glad to have you, and welcome you however you choose
to participate in the list.
