Ridecamp: Re: [RC] barefoot

Debra,

My response to you was private, I did not mean for it to go to 
ridecamp. I *meant* this to go to ridecamp, by just "replying to 
all". In replying to my private post you had to deliberately add 
ridecamp to the recipients.

I would not take anything back that I said, but I would encourage you 
to consider this "netiquette" next time.

Thanks for the clarification of your viewpoint.  It makes more sense now.

Lynne
