It was done back and forth mostly to resolve this issue. Someone thinks that just because it's a horrible situation to have a child kidnapped then it will be ok to post on here. Well what if then someone feels that a murder suspect they are looking for is a good post, so on and so forth, I never said I didn't feel for the victims, just that this isn't the place for it, which Mike D has agreed on. Sure there probably would have not been as many posts for the Amber alert, but now we have this cleared up for other situations and all someone will need to do is look in the archive to find out the best practices for this list.

I really am not trying to offend anyone - but it is ironic that (and I am sure that I am not alone in saying it) that the back and forth bickering about whether or not a post is valid is more times much more annoying then a single OT post. (of course by myself responding - yes it is contradictory to what I am saying - so don't bother including me in - just wanted to share a view) Hoffman, Joe (NIH/CIT) wrote: There is nothing wrong with a post on this list to help find a missing child. How is it going to 'help' by posting on 'this' list? Seriously?? It makes me sick to think there are such callous people that don't care about a missing child. Who said we do not 'care'? Isn't television, radio and newspapers more efficient and effective to communicate with the population?
