Leonie and N.McV.,

In light of the recent complaints about being off topic, will you explain
your idea of how truancy fines are connected to unschooling?

I believe there is an intimate connection, but we seem to need justification
for almost all posts nowadays. I'd like to hear yours, and I honestly
believe it will interest almost everyone. Thanks.

N.McV.

My email was merely an attempt to stave off rumors about truancy fines in New Jersey. (Yes, rumors are that quick to start.)

Your email to me (quoted below) appears to be an attempt to muddy the waters by conflating the occasional off-topic drifts on this list with your own crusade to turn this into your own personal political forum.

Does everyone here know how to activate your twit filters?
