So Whitney---now we're all to enroll in a seven-step program to purge ourselves of the Kristen plague? This might indeed be an effective measure to bring peace and harmony back to the GML, which after all, is just supposed to be a friendly sharing of gerbil-lore, not a forum for maniacal ravings and "accidental" postings of unsavory material. Me? As soon as the Kristen name registers across my retinas, I just hit the delete key and the plague goes away without having a chance for any damage (or waste of my time). Kristen-you have major problems, for which you should seek professional help. You should not use the individuals of the GML as a whetstone for your pent-up hostilities. You won't be able to intimidate ME off the list. Although YOU might think differently, I can tell you that you are a rank amateur as a pest. I deal with the real pros all day long, some with prison records, and I'm never the one to blink. So, as long as I have a delete key, you're just a bunch of wayward electrons, and nothing more. --Esther
