I don't think anyone on this list is indifferent to the plight of 
a missing child. I'm a new parent and trust me, I have a 
new-found sensitivity to anything remotely related to harm to children.

However, I think the real question is where do we draw the line? 
Is it okay to post a fund-raising request for breast cancer? 
Surely everyone is against breast cancer. What about a 
walk-a-thon for muscular dystrophy? Or how about circulating a 
petition against the Israeli occupation of Palestine, or the 
targeting of innocent civilians by Palestinian suicide bombers?

This list has a tremendous signal-to-noise ratio and I'd hate to 
see it diluted with well-meaning but off-topic posts.

Just my $.02.
