Absolutely not, which is why I specifically said I was not referring to
anyone who asked questions about it. It just so happened that Mietze resigned her position in a thread you started, and I replied to that. I think the Jellicle Ball is a lovely tradition that every year brings out many "old-timers" that are not usually able to post and I agree that it would be sad to see it go. I'm concerned that some here felt that we were inundating the group with stuff that didn't pertain to them, but without those who have gone before, this group would not exist.

There has been no one more dedicated to this task than Mietze/Melissa has been, and I wish to thank her for that. That said (and I wish to make clear this is not aimed at those who simply asked questions), I would like to add that those few of you who have *complained* should be ashamed. If rpcc no longer wishes to have a Jellicle Ball, that's fine, but it is a sad day when some in a group of people who have supposedly been brought together by love of their furs should attack someone who has done nothing but try to give some consolation and solace to those who have lost their loved ones. I have to wonder if those who have been so quick to criticize will step up to the plate and remember those who go to the bridge this coming year.

I don't think anyone has ever complained about the work Melissa has done, if
anyone needs to se her dedication they need only go and look at the walk... bear in mind that honest questions and a desire to understand the dynamics of a group can often be interpreted incorrectly or not as they are intended... it seems to me that all of the newer members are doing something I did not have the courage to do when I first started reading here, I think around 99 but am not sure... I always wondered how the ball started, how the calling got started, Melissa is the only one I ever saw do it and I wondered how that came to be, if there had been someone before, why/how did it change... just like I wondered when reading the glossary for the first time who could be that creative and wonderful to catalog all of that... the point is, I think the group is filled with love and I think that some of us are sensitive to keeping traditions alive, and others of us want to understand the traditions keep them and add to the life here at the community, soft fur her cats wrote in message oups.com...

Lee, I really agree with that -- I have been so glad for all the
questions that people ask. There is a lot about the Jellicle Ball that I don't know, and the more I read about it, the more I can learn. I appreciate every question anyone has asked.

I have been so impressed by the quality of writing that happens in our
events, especially the Jellical Ball and wedwinks...the narratives have been so meaningful, and I have been remiss in not saying so quite often. At this Jellical Ball, I even cut-and-pasted much of it, to read from time to time. I would be very happy and contented to see the traditions of rpcc continue without any change at all, though I recognize that the job is difficult, it is extremely worthwhile, both in times of grief and times of joy. A huge Bravo and Thank You to those who work especially hard to make the above possible. Sylvia, Meowmee and sekkiterry tu Pitô.ônya. "Stormmee" wrote in message ...
