Okay, got that - and nice intro too! Thanks.

Yes, well, this confirms my first reading of your previous post, but I was

giving

you, as they like to say, the benefit of the doubt LOL Seriously, I couldn't

understand why someone who was here for recipes (you certainly weren't

trying to post and chat, so that was a reasonable assumption) would be

criticizing the list owner for not encouraging OT chat. Therefore, I went to the

second possible interpretation of your message: that it was *you* (not the

ubiquitous 'friend' or another list member) who wanted 'support'.

 

Okay, I understand that you are doing this out of consideration for others - the

vegetarians who want to talk about eating non-vegetarian food as a sort of

therapy for their problems with vegetarianism or whatever. Well, Ken, we

disagree on the usefulness or appropriateness of that, and we'll just have to

agree to disagree, right? LOL Just promise me you won't now write to the list

to complain about these off-topic posts you have encouraged!!!

 

Okay, gotta go and walk the hounds. Their needs are less complex right now.

 

Best, Pat
