is

me

>"intimate" in this way if the topics had to be cp-related. I lurk on a list

There
>are no tangential discussions such as the monster which drew out over last
>Thursday and Friday. If they even strayed to discussing psychotherapy, they
>are yanked back because psychotherapy per se does not involve drugs. I am
>glad we are allowed more
>freedom to get to know people on this list.
>    For my part, Trish, I think you, Betty and Deri do a wonderful,
thankless
>job.
