I didn't even know that it was based on a true story, so you're whistle
blowing is lost on me. I
figured that it was more of a representation. Which, btw, I still found to
be lovely and interesting.
The conversations in my home, surrounding this movie, have been
extraordinary.

Could you explain how you define "misplaced fervor."

Well, I guess this is a blonde moment. (I get to say that because my sister
has made me an honorary blonde) I've had other folks read the whole thread
and they understood what I was saying. Some folks don't, and I guess, since
I hold the title of CAM, that unless you can come over for a cup of green
tea with lemon grass and sit around the table, there isn't really any way I
can explain what I meant.

Well, that seems to be a cop out. I am willing to listen to your reasoning,
etc. I thought that was how communication went on a list. You get an
opportunity to present your ideas in a clear manner over and over until
people understand. I am saddened you won't take the opportunity. Clearly, I
am not the only one who has a challenge understanding your motives on this. I
have no idea what the title of CAM is . . .really I thought we were all just
unschool moms getting some support and trying to understand how others
meander through their lives.

Ya know, I think what folks need to do is go back and read the whole thread.
Then read exactly what came before the post that got everyone's bloomers in
a bunch. Maybe do a cut and paste into a word processing program and then
read the thread as a whole.
And, while you may choose to decide that my reason for letting it go is a
cop out, that doesn't make it so. Since I have been bitched at for taking
up too much band width here and been told that to continue to try to explain
is the next thing to being a stalker (heaven forbid that one should call
anyone on that type of psychotic thinking), I felt it was best to let the
thread die a natural, or unnatural death, whichever the list desired.
Now, shall we let it go or shall we continue? If you wish to continue,
maybe we should change the subject line so that those who want to make
Twinki remarks can use their delete key! Or if you are really interested,
we can take it off-list.
Lynda
P.S. CAM means "Clear As Mud" which is frequently what happens on a list as
all the components of communication are not available.

just forget it . . . apparently we have different views on what we each want
to get from the list.
