Personally I find "life anecdotes" interesting. I don't think most
would object as long as the "Subject" line was accurateand the posting
was sincere.
A first-line "disclaimer" might be nice for those who look to these
posts as refuge from the worlds woes.

Everyone,
It had been suggested to me by a couple of people to right up my story about how I fisrt got the Phono Fever at the age of 26 years old. Unfortunately it will contain parts of my life away form the topic of Phonos as I overcame major life issues. I guess now it would be inappropriate to post my story here. If any of you that encouraged me to do this, and if you still would like to read my story, please contact me off board. As I donot want to cause problems or get people here upset with me. I to am sorry for posting my off topic personal major life event.
I really did not mean to ruffle anyones feathers,
Kenneth

Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Apology to all
John,
You owe no one an apology. Yes, one purpose of the list is to share&
further knowledge about the hobby. Phono-L is also a conduit for
socialization among those of us who share common bonds.
Folks, if you get your panties in a wad over some non-phono related
chatter, run your own listserve and make the rules. Hang out here, you
play by my rules.
Thanks,
Loran

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.
John Robles
