Subject: [Harp-L] Fwd: Da Blues and Its Origins

Suzy writes about our offlist correspondence yet again:
 
"More from Elizabeth to me.
This is not to be posted on Harp-l list,  please.
I think she'd send her attack cats out after me and sneer me at  SPAH.
I think she needs to talk/think like this for a while now in order to  help  
her find her peaceful way later.
She may be reflecting right  now even and by August 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, be a  
person with a smile on  her face for all.
Aloha and Mahalo..........................SQB"
 
...Susan.....since I haven't posted onto Harp-L any of the months of  
personal correspondence you've been sending to me via im's and emails, I don't  quite 
see the problem you now have with my preferring to keep my personal  email to 
you private?  That is how it's done here on Harp-L.  It is  what is suggested 
in Harp-L's Rules for posting:  If a matter became  personal and off-topic, 
to take it offlist.  I simply synopsized what I  wrote to you for the list and 
explained I was doing so, mainly for your benefit  since I didn't believe 
you'd want my opinion aired.  You now refer to  me as having "attack cats".  ????? 
 As well as someone  who might  "sneer you at SPAH".  You've lost me there.   
If you meant that I might sneer AT you?....nope, not at all.  You  don't know 
me well enough to know that I've never sneered at anyone in my  life... not 
in my nature.  Perhaps you're using the word in some  manner I'm not yet 
cognizant with? 
 
 As far as what you believe about how I should talk or  think....I'd really 
prefer it if you don't attempt to further psychoanalyze  me here (one of my 
offlist requests).  You know next to nothing about  my life or what prompted my 
very precise question about playing one's harmonica  through grief on Harp-L 
which seems to have resulted in your high  dudgeon.   For your specific 
information I'm usually counted  on to have a smile on my face a good 90+% of the 
time.  I realize this  doesn't jibe with your assumptions and guesswork, but it is 
what it is.
 
I fully expect that if I manage to attend SPAH in August I will get just as  
much out of it as I did from SPAH 2005.  I had told you I was looking  forward 
to meeting you in your home town of Denver. Whether you choose  to have your 
presence add to or detract from my 2006 experience or not, I  have no doubt 
I'll be smiling throughout from the sheer fun of the  SPAH Convention, 
especially since so many friends I've made through Harp-L  plan to attend.
