I just wanted to clarify something re: Margot because it seems that Roger was assuming that she was discussing spamming a list of parents in the Valley. I mentioned to Margot that I knew about two parenting oriented email newsletters that are Valley specific. One is a blog and a Yahoo Group, and the Yahoo Group is an open discussion about parenting and child-related activities in the valley. The other list is an editorial newsletter highlighting Valley events of interest to parents and families. I was not discussing and would not share lists of people's personal emails for spamming - or any other purpose.
