[AMRadio] Recent Mistake-please read

[David Knepper]

I for one - and I know the list members do as well - appreciate the efforts 
and time that Jim and others make in moderating this list.

If everyone would show a bit of civility and think before they hit the send 
button, it would make their job so much easier.

Remember, a little of courtesy goes a long way.  And, if you have a personal 
comment -  snide remark -  to make to someone, then, send your comment 
directly to this individual and not the entire list, unless you are one of 
those individuals who must have the last word!

Think before you overreact or make a rush to judgment.  If I sound as if I 
am preaching to the choir, please excuse.

THANK YOU
