Re: Coming soon..A personal account

Hi Neil,Thank you for your kind and gentle commentary. I could not have said it better myself.The posts that Jill & Alice had here (that you responded to) were deleted because they were not related to hair problems, hair topics or hair for the most part.Jeff and I have a brand new policy as of today....any topics posted that are not directly related to hair care, hair problems, hair issues, hair discussion....etc...will be deleted as soon as we see them.Yes, we welcome Jill and Alice to our Hair Talk if they want to discuss hair. Short hair, long hair, whatever hair.Jeff and I have no problem with Jill and Alice as long as they follow the original intent of this forum. After all, if you posted hair stuff on a forum on mathematics, you would be just as unwelcome there as someone posting non hair related stuff here.Like you Neil, I also have complete empathy for Jill and any personal life events that she has had to address. I actually admire someone who can deal with life head on, as Jill seems to do.However, this is a forum on hair. Jeff and I will gladly post a link to any site that Jill and Alice put up since we are into helping other webmasters and other sites be successful.Jeff and I are currently a non-profit web site. We operate in the red and totally from our own pockets except for a small return on any books that are sold through Amazon.com.We want this to be a safe and friendly site where people can talk about hair.I am sure everyone will understand that Jeff and I have to take a stand on this and do what is right for the majority of the visitors to this site.From the email I received today and the postings on Hair Talk, the majority agree that non hair related posts should be deleted. Also, the majority feel it is ok to talk about short hair here, but do not feel we need to add another forum devoted directly to short hair.My apologizes for having to delete posts, but we want to do the best for the majority of long term visitors here.Thanks,Karen Shelton (The real one) :-)>> Jill, While there may be some very unfortunate> events that have had a major impact on your life,> I don't think this forum is the appropriate place> to post them.

Your only interest is your hair problems. Thank you! Now I feel a lot better about spending 12 years in prison and sporting a crewcut! At least I have a Life! I can help other women get their lives together rather worring about split ends!

> Your only interest is your hair problems.Jill, I think you know better than to presume that those of us who wish to discuss hair care concerns would have one and only one interest.> Thank you!

Jill..BWASBut I'm curious, Jill... how does baiting a group who does not share this one specific interest of yours help those other women get their lives together? I sincerely hope you're not showing them the way to annoyance of others such as you seem to wish to do here. And as you have spoken so vociferously, perhaps you might come to realize that you yourself have expended considerable energy on a specific hair issue.Dave
