Thank you for your straightforward commentary. I, for one, am willing to read
anything Ruby posts b/c it is like watching "A Current Affair" - always
outrageous but nothing to be taken seriously, but I believe many people,
including myself, refrain from posting to threads she is involved with b/c
she is offensive. Perhaps the list would be best served if she started her
own and left this one. People would be free to post to hers and this one and
I believe we would gain more commentary from lurkers with her abscence. I am
not trying to be mean, I just find life far too short for her tirades against
everything!
