To those of you who may have been concerned about bruised feelings caused by this discussion, I wanted you to know that Ridtka and I continued our discussion on-line, off-list to my great satisfaction.  She did present to me a very rational explanation of her reasons for adhering to strict organic principles for which I am grateful. 

 

Mangodance and I also exchanged cordial and enjoyable notes.

 

I would hope that in the future we can discuss any issues of interest in a style compatible to all of our various personalities and styles of writing.  It is easy to misconstrue tone and confuse an affectionate poke for a personal attack but we all share a strong common bond and should be able to adjust as we go. 

 

Thank you all for your tolerance and understanding.
