[Cob] I was there

[Barbara Roemer]

Laura,


Thanks for the clarifications.  It's very helpful to know you were on site.
Confusion arose because your email  looked like there was uncertainty about
location (e.g., "outside of Roseburg, Or. at Ishie's" which I read as
meaning either outside of Roseburg or, alternatively, at someone named
Ishie's) and about whom the pronoun referred to (e..g., the "she" leaving
the site referred gramatically to the person named Ishie, but I think you
intended it to refer to Becky Bee).  Maybe the best way to have handled this
(hind sight is so much clearer!) would have been to indicate that you'd run
into difficulties in a workshop you'd attended, and perhaps anyone who might
consider attending a workshop near Roseburg, OR, could contact you if they
were interested in further details. Or suggest to Becky that SHE post a note
on the cob list, though she'd probably consider that too unprofessional.
Usually, word gets around in a particular locale if someone is difficult to
get along with, but you were offering a forewarning to unwitting future
participants.  I'd have the same impulse, but I'm trying to let go of
policing for the rest of the world. ...I DO appreciate your comments,
though.  Thanks for making the effort to respond.  Now we can move on....?
