    Actually the christmas card list was conducted off the site so had nothing to do with mse.. I had a long discussion with another mod about it and all was sorted amicably and to everyones satisfaction.. and why is this relevant in May?

    Dunno :confused: It's been talked about for the last couple of pages :confused:

    Sorry, but several posters have been mentioning exchanging personal details via PM over the last couple of pages. This is using MSE to exchange personal details, which, as MSE Andrea has said recently, is specifically against the rules.

    ETA - no I am not writing xmas cards............ I cant help but notice lots of people arent on here.

    Is there anyone in particluar who keeps this up to date? If no one does this already, and there is anyone who would like to be added to the Flylady Contact List.......PM me your details and your email address and I will email everyone an updated copy.

    You can, if you wish, just provide an email address to receive E-cards etc.

    Jo xx

    noone is supposed to keep it!!

    I collected the names and addresses of those who wished to take part in the card swap at christmas but other than that the list should have been deleted and certainly not be beinig circulated if you need someones address for a specific purpose then that is between you and them... data protection and super-spam reasons as usual!

    it was andrea I spoke to about the list and as it was done off site and not circulated beyond the circle of those who opted to be on it was deemed ok.. or maybe I am just deemed trustworthy :p

    I just have been skimming posts as am half dead still so missed a few bits but found relevant parts.. I don't want my details made available to anyone who happens across the thread either
