Hello Liz, I am a college teacher too, and I am the one being flamed, but that happens on all lists occasionally. Goes with the turf and if I am not willing to be flamed, then I need to shut up, get off the list, or just lurk. Actually, being flamed gives me an opportunity to practice patience, love, and not judging.

Be fore giving us your great advice, tell us how you determined that it was correct or shut up. We don't need it, and stop screwing up those that are trying to heal themselves. >>>You are Johnny come latelys and need to spend a couple hundred hours in the archives (holy smoke, the archives ) before thinking that you know something that we haven't already done with experiments. There is about five years worth of good information there. Use it before opening your mouth. So, as a newcomer, if I'm wrong I'm going to get flamed like this? No, thanks. Where I come from, people treat one another with respect--especially newcomers to our list. In my opinion, a list for informational purposes should gently educate, not lambast the uninitiated with your knowledge. I am a teacher. Were I to use this method with my college students, every single one of them would tune me out for the rest of the semester. I would like to share with you two of my favorite quotes: "The secret in education lies in respecting the student." Ralph Waldo Emerson "A good teacher never strives to explain his vision. He simply invites you to stand beside him and see for yourself." R.
