I absolutely can no longer resist this discussion, so compelling and close
to home has it become. I am a psychiatrist by profession as well as a lover
of platinum. I follow this list daily. This is a great group of people and
I am priviledged to be a part of it. Professionally I deal on a daily
basis with the very sort of insults and tense communications that have
arisen from time to time on the list. I have three recommendations to make
each being related to the next : Be kind! Be humble! Be considerate of
other's feelings before you make your postings! That's it in a nutshell.
And like a handsome platinum, gum, salt, or other alternative print ,such
sensitive postings appear far easier to make than they actually are to
implement in reality. Like the irresistible impulse to press the shutter
release button , they sometimes call for thoughtful restraint. For all of
us!
