Hey!  Everybody!  Lay off the elbowing, the finger-pointing, the
backhanded knocks to the chops, and so on.

I realize that you may be experiencing rebounds and other fluxes due
to the holidays so recently (and excruciatingly) experienced.

But that's no reason to take out your frustrations, anger, or whatever
emotional excesses you want to vent against people here on the list.

I don't really care who started it, who's to blame, or any of that.

What I do care about is that it doesn't continue.

Why not write a story (or a poem, perhaps one of those fine essays?)
about what happens after the vacation, on the way home from the
holidays, the first morning at work again?

And let me remind myself and everyone: the list is for discussion of
writing, not for personal attacks.

If you want to engage in such an exchange, please take it off the
list.

thank you
