One of the most difficult problems I have in using listservs like this are not knowing my audience, being uncertain of the norms governing interaction, and as a consequence of the foregoing being afraid of making a fool of myself. Oh yes, there is also the fear of revealling my spelling and grammer difficulties. I also fear being misunderstood, that someone will be offended by something I write because of the way in which they interpret the words. Do others share these concerns? If so do you have any ideas as to how we can deal with them, short of therapy? I know that the next thing I will do is to request the list of people who have subscribed by sending the command "REVIEW" to the [log in to unmask] (correct procedure?). At least this will give me an idea of who is out there. I think Liz and Alison have done us a great service by getting this listserv up and running. Now it's up to us to take advantage of the opportunity it provides for sharing and creating knowledge and build new partnerships. Mike Nelson, Lantzville, B.C.
