Good morning all. I received an email this morning from a list member stating that it would be nice if I "did not use Phono-L for my personal email or soapbox", and that "not everyone wants to hear all this". It was further stated that the purpose of Phono-L was to share and further our knowledge about our shared hobby. That is true.
I simply responded to a public message that was posted by a list member. I had written him privately asking him to let me know how he was doing. He answered publicly. Was it off subject? Yes. I did not use the list as a "soap box"' I merely made a compassionate response to a list member's message. I assume he received a similar response. I also assume that if the medical issue had been cancer or some other "mainstream" ailment, I would not have been accused of being on my "soapbox", which implies a political attitude. Be that as it may, I am sorry if my public response to a public message offended anyone. I will try to keep my compassion for suffering private from now on.
