[nfbmi-talk] Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello Fred,

I did not realize that a simple request for a little bit of respect was a 
form of chastising. however, if it is not acceptable to chastise particular 
members on this list, then perhaps it should not be acceptable to chastise 
any member on this list.

I am sorry if I offended anyone with what I said, but I just simply do not 
believe it is right to continue to disrespect people on this email list. A 
little respect can go a long way.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

>>    Hello Terri,

>> I have noticed that you have posted several things to our state affiliate 
>> email list without giving credit to the person who originally wrote the 
>> material you post to the email list. I am simply wondering why you cannot

>> The most recent example of this would be the conference call notes from

>>
>> So while I appreciate the things that you post to the email list, if you

>> credit is due, then I politely ask you to stop posting things to the 
>> email list that are written by others.

>> Thanks,
>> Elizabeth
