All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I would think a master list would mainly be good for an initial invitation to join a discussion/mailing list for whatever the project at hand is.

Ha, ha, ha! You distilled it all down to one sentence. I am way too rambly.

Yes, what she said.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

And some of us are actively avoiding using Facebook.

Word.

BTW, I think most of us have an email address that we can use for such a list if we want to keep the biz one protected. I have a gmail addy for that purpose and I'm happy to share it with buffistas. I'd rather not share it with a former Worldcrossing stalker, but that perhaps is not an issue around here currently.

This is all to say, I am happy to provide an email address and the one I provide can be shared with the people here. I learned it was already exposed during the gawker hack, so I say "fuck it."

Because books.

I just noticed there were, uh, 24 messages in here. Oops.

I'm all for this, however it works. Trying to find someone on the board to be able to click on his or her profile to find an address can be frustrating.

Oh, yeah, I guess "What's so-and-so's" e-mail could happen, too. I wasn't really thinking of it for that, but if people want that...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Oh, and btw, I am not blaming anyone for not keeping everyone in the loop WRT sending out gift packages, etc. Please do not take my comments in that spirit. I did not mean it accusatory. I really would like to help out and be supportive when/where I can.

Thanks to all of you who have volunteered to collect funds, assemble packages, etc. I think of the actions done has been in our collective name.

Because books.

I also think it's great for the idea you proposed, Jen!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I like this.
