Hey Malcolm, I agree with 90-percent of your post. And it really upsets me when she posts something negative totally out of the blue. HOWEVER God bless Jan, sometimes she comes across the wrong way (as do all of us I'm sure) but you can tell she has the greatest heart and is just trying to help and encourage. Sometimes I wish she would think more before posting something, but I could be guilty of the same thing.
HOWEVER, this thing about her writing "Love, Phillipa" is unreal and (in my opinion) should NEVER be addressed again on this board. If someone has a problem with it, then dont read her posts. It's that simple. Of course, she doesn't know everyone on this board, but I think she cares for the general wellfare of everyone on this board.
I dont think saying "Love, whomever" is ANY DIFFERENT than opening professional letter with "Dear Sirs." To me, "dear" is just as much of a term of endearment as "love" is, in THIS CONTEXT.
Nor do I think it is any different than when I say "Prayers" at the end of my posts. I pray for few ppl in here specifically, but for the pain and suffering of all those on PBbabble EVERY NIGHT.
Malcom, you have been a great contributor to this board. I've appreciated our email communication. Let's get back to helping and encouraging one another.
Prayers, love and whatever else, Michael
