Re: A Brief Note....
in reply to a message by Catherine DeGiovanni
Catherine,
Whether or not you're this infamous Raven, I don't know. But its a shame that you feel that you have to permanently withdraw from the board. I read back a little and I know that lots of hurtful and spiteful things were said on both sides. I know I'm new here and don't wish to be an upstart or anything but, "can't we all just get along?" I thought this was a place where namaniacs could get together and exchange knowledge and information. Just because people have differing information or opinions doesn't have to mean WWIII. I don't know how it all got started because I wasn't able to read back that far, but perhaps if the person who initiated the rudeness (and you know who you are) would just post a heartfelt apology, I feel sure that the other party or parties would be big enough to forgive him or her. Just a suggestion from the new kid on the block. No offense intended to anyone. I think I'm probably old enough to be mother to most of the regulars so I feel the role of peacemaker or maternal mediator is appropriate.

How old are you, Cheryl? I know it's not a polite question to ask, but you did volunteer that you're "probably old enough to be mother to most of the regulars" here, so I'm kinda curious. :)

I'll be 46 in a week. I'm usually the oldest person in chat rooms and on message boards. I guess most people my age, and past their child-bearing years, have little or no interest in names.
We'll have to get Daividh's feedback on this
Well, you sure beat me, but you're not *quite* old enough to be my mom. :) I'm not so sure if you beat Daividh, though. Right now he holds the "old timer" record here on this board -- both age-wise, and longtime member-wise. :)

Sorry, Cheryl...
I'm not old enough to be Nan's Mom : ) either, but I do have a coupla years on you. And I'm still very much into names. Welcome, and stick around -- this place needs more adult leadership!!

Daividh theoretically is old enough to be my father (assuming his plumbing was operational at the age of ~11):P
Don't you remember , Little Paulie? We won 2nd place in the science fair and a lifetime supply of Liquid Plumber...
