Thank you, Kerri... very well-said. It's hard to imagine this happening with dancing, but it's good for us to know this, and I certainly believe you. I've never been on a talk list like this, only ones where I know all the participants personally & communicate in other ways besides the list. When I first joined this one, I felt and said that I thought it was a really wonderful bunch of people. I still think so, and believe we can learn to use this tool better and save it from its own destruction. "Growing Pains" is what I would call what's been happening. As long as those don't become what we had in the cold war-- M.A.D. Chills my bones. I loved the hugs and chicken soup someone mentioned-- that's about what my mom would do: invite y'all in for fastnacht doughnuts and shoofly pie, whether or not fastnacht day is long past. The love would flow again. Hmmm, there's a few more PA letterbox ideas to chew on. Well, I'm making French toast in a few hours, and you're all invited, along with nice words in our inboxes. (BYOBox!) Boxes and inboxes... little boxes, little boxes. --lunaryakketyact
