I support the idea of not allowing a fight between members; I was on a list
that allowed just about anything and it can destroy the value of a list.  I
do hope that Peter and members will continue to post information about what
she is saying.  I think a lot of us don't follow her show and can get
blind-sided by this stuff.  I was presenting a report on our new automation
software and a school board member wanted to know if it allowed access to
the ALA pornographic sites.  Had I not been on this list, I would have been
really thrown for a loop.  I realize that public library discussions etc.
shouldn't go on here, but I was really shocked to hear about the Internet
being used to harass librarians.  I also think that is important for me to
know.  The entire battle over the Internet, ALA, and filtering is very
important to school librarians.  I need to know what is going on beyond my
little corner of the library world because it will affect me.  But I do
support a cut off of personal ranting back and forth.
