<DIV><FONT size=2>Dear Felipe,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> Although I speak for myself I
sense my sentiments are shared by many in that your mentioned withdrawal in a
week's time will be a considerable loss to our list - most
especially to future pilgrims who are planning on making the trek.
Your wise, caring and generous input has enhanced GOCAMINO with unique
perspective as well as compassionate and insightful responses. This is not
to flatter you but rather a simple statement of fact. </FONT><FONT
size=2>To correspond privately would deprive the others of subject matter that
is indeed relevant and pertinent to the Camino... such as, dear sir, I too
collapsed from heat exhaustion upon reaching Estella, and stayed an extra day to
recover. In another month or two as people begin to head for the
Camino it will be time to discuss what we wish we had known before making
our own treks. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> This is to request that you reconsider your
decision in balance of the many versus the unfortunate mis-communications of the
very few.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Pederson:</DIV>

I am affronted at your boorishly masculine behavior
which borders on contumely. Upon reading your diatribe to my friend
Andrea, I quickly reviewed the original correspondence relating to Gocamino
subscription. Nowhere did I discern a list of rules and regulations that
direct contributors toward subjects and themes that fall within specifically
defined confines. Nor was I informed that a University sponsored the
newsgroup and that the institution of higher learning had proffered benchmarks
for epistolary behavior. Without any guidance, then, how can we, the
contributors, direct our efforts toward any communicative goal except by
spontaneity and good will? But more importantly how can you have the
presumptive brazenness to speak for the rest of us while demonstrating a
graceless lack of enlightenment in regard to your treatment of Andrea? I
wrote once of liberty and freedom and their dependence for vitality and
continuity upon the tolerance with disparity as demonstrated by the
individual members of any society in question. If my observation is
correct then by dint of your own works you have demonstrated an autocratic
inclination favoring fascism rather than freedom.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Please note that
I do not tell you what, when, where, or how to write. You are free to do
what you please as also should be Andrea. I only make decisions about my
self. My most recent decision is to post a message daily with my e-mail
address for the period of one week so that anyone wishing to maintain
correspondence with me may do so. After one week I
shall unsubscribe. Furthermore if you were the one that wrote me about a
reunion in Seattle of Camineros I request that my name be extirpated from the
list. I shall never understand how some people can walk a path through
life and never see the sky...Felipe Sanchez</DIV>
