And Ebbie--

It certainly seems a strange role to me to be the mediator between two very strong-minded women. I assure you, it's not type-casting.    And this friction is really too bad since I suspect you and Jan agree on the vast majority of issues on which she cares so deeply.

I suspect that if you were to meet, you'd hit it off just great--though admittedly it doesn't seem so now.

Obviously it's unfair of her to imply that because you spend some time on Mudcat BS threads, you do nothing worthwhile.   But it is also unfair of you to imply that because you have assisted people to become citizens, it should be no problem for her--implication: she should stop whining.   It is far more complex than you know.   I believe you deserve a lot more of the story so I will PM you with it. I don't know how much Jan wants broadcast to the world.
