a large percentage of this list is US based. those of
you angered by this discussion, please bear in mind that
many of our list members have been directly affected.
the idm-list, in all it's dysfunctional glory, is a community,
and as a community, we are obliged to communicate with,
console, and help those other community members
wherever and however we can.
it has been brought up that such attention has not been
paid to other tragedies worldwide that have happened
in the past. however unfair and "U.S.-centric" as that
may be, this situation is in the backyard of more than
50% of this list. had a significant amount of list-members
been affected by other such tragedies in other countries,
this list would have, no doubt, been flooded with
communication regarding those tragedies.
undoubtedly, some members of this list were injured
or killed this morning. my prayers and thoughts are
with all of the involved.
truly a sad day.
