RE: [ozmidwifery] Junk Mail

[Julie Clarke]

Thanks Rosalee and Mary, I wondered if it was just me or if others felt similarly… I have found that I’ve had to hit delete very often for the one liners and quips which don’t apply to 99% of the listers and in my frustration to “clean up” have probably deleted some I would have liked to have read.  I would very much encourage the personal private communication be done off list – which is what the majority do out of respect. hug Julie Clarke Childbirth and Parenting Educator Transition into Parenthood 9 Withybrook Pl Sylvania  NSW  2224 T.
