I just returned home after spending the last week with my Dad during his 
surgery last Monday...and then making funeral arrangements for him, going 
through the visitation and funeral, and then clearing out his assisted living 
apartment.  I know I'm a little sensitive right now and hope you'll forgive 
me for saying that a yellow background or binary messages and whatever else 
the recent complaints have been about truly are not the most important things 
in the world.  

I believe that people need to express their thoughts, but after reading 
through hundreds of messages tonight, it seems to me that some folks just 
need to get a grip on reality.  I don't believe that anyone is purposely 
sending messages that will irritate anyone on the list - perhaps we could 
just kindly explain our major irritations - and ignore the minor ones? (For 
me, the yellow background on the original message never showed up...it only 
showed up on the above message.  I agree it's bright, but I sure can live 
with it.)
