[MD] Posting in Dynamic Quality Format

[MarshaV]

Hi Mark,

I write everyday in a journal.  And I think what you suggest is a 
great idea, but this does not seem a safe place to be open.  
Even you, who are one of the gentler and more creative 
posters, thought nothing of blowing off my attempt to speak of 
gender.  -  Guess I got a little bit touchy.  

I miss the story-tellers.   If you have a story to share, I'd love to 
hear it.
