Hi Tracy! You just sound like a lot of fun, that's all! ( I just imagined
Tracy A to be a fun person, too) :) Karen

Gee, this was going along in a rather adult fashion until now. The quote
you used was not addressed to you, it was addressed to the husband of a
list member. What you wrote is indeed what you accuse the other person
of--flaming.

Perhaps if you hadn't been looking for it to be addressed to you or weren't
insecure in your beliefs, this wouldn't have offended you.

I didn't breastfeed all of the kidlets for which I have valid medical
reasons. But I don't get my bloomers in a twist because someone states
opinions using generalizations about folks who don't/didn't breastfeed.
Perhaps the quote "Get over yourself and your own opinions' should be
applied closer to home.

Lynda, who is really tired of folks who go looking for arguments.
