Dawn,

I'm a little upset by this.  I was a grieving parent who chose NOT to
conceive for a year - and I know at times it seems that the listservs seemed
to be causing pregnancies!  Although I never had to consult a fertility
specialist - I have had friends who have and I too get upset that there are
those that would do anything - and some of the treatments are ANYTHING to
have another babe!  It upsets me because we all know of those that have
children and do not appreciate that gift.

Now, pregnant and I should join another listserv?  I'm sorry Dawn - I
already belong to 4 and at this point am considering leaving ALL!  I wonder
in our nation - we separate so much - and now we must separate here?  I
don't know HOW you keep up!  I'm just overall, aggravated by all of this.
 Whenever I've posted - I've tried to give INFORMATION - which from what
I've gathered - it seems that I have had the most cutting edge pregnancy
thus far thanks to Dr. T.  (Probably why I've been so calm through it all.)
 I've also TRIED to show sensitivity to those that choose not to have
another baby or can't have anymore!

I've been good - and I refuse to discuss religion, politics or anything else
- and I also agree with you 100%.  But I'm an idealist - and constantly
wondering why people can't be TOLERANT.  If you don't want to read the post
on someone's pregnancy - delete it!  Trust me I did at times!  Like TV - if
you don't like what is being broadcast - turn the channel or turn off the
damn boob tube.

I'm just venting - I will probably be a good kid and join it - but I'm just
exasperated by all this separation - it seems as though we are segregating
ourselves!  You are not - just the size is segregating everyone.  I hope you
understand my point.

I, too, agree with the name on the site with the stars - but also - I think
after a curtain amount of time if someone is "good", they should be rewarded
by either having their name deleted OR a star deleted?  Perhaps that is too
much to keep up with - but I'm with you - I don't want my name up there!

Sorry to vent over something so damn trivial!

Hugs,
Elizabeth
