Mel,

Your poll link doesn't work so I'll answer here instead. For those of us who grew up in an era of 'loose lips, sink ships' I'm glad you explained about all the 'checks' your brother's dispatches go threw before they are sent out. This blog entry should very thoroughly put any fears to rest for anyone who may have been concerned for your brother's safety.

As far as the dispatches making anyone uncomfortable or whatever, you don't really need a poll because anyone can NOT read any blog or blogger's entries they wish to avoid. Except a few staff members, no one HAS to read ALL the blogs. So please do what ever YOU want to do. The war is up front and personal for you and probably has the power to effect you moods from one day to another. It's part of your life just as speech classes are a part of my life. We all write what we know and live.

Jean

P.S. Just remember not to include your brother's contact information in the future because we have strict guidelines on this site about putting that kind of information in print. Only a few exceptions are allowed and this would not be one of them.

Mel, I was concerned about you putting your brother's contact information and exact whereabouts on your blog, I read it while those details were still on it. But I do find the rest of the details fascinating and will continue to read them. I know you are very proud of him and so want to share some of his story with your friends here.

I am aware from my own blog that you wouldn't have to read many of them to work out where live, who I am and a lot of other details, certainly enough to find me in those internet white pages if you wanted to. I guess it is a risk I take. But I am also aware we do know most of the members but hundreds of "guests" also can read our blogs whenever they want so I don't put too much detail in.

I am praying for your brother and if I was younger and not attached would email him too!

Sue. :friends:

Mel:

I agree with Jean about guidelines of strokenetwork. If you feel your brother's e-mail does not constitute any personal stuff which might benefit enemies or affext his safety., I don't think any one of us will have any concerns. so you can go ahead and write what you please in your blog.

Asha

Mel,

Your site is nicely done. I don't belong to Yahoo so I still can't sign in to vote your poll. But you know how I feel anyway so it not important. Share your brother's dispatches (minus the contact info). They aren't too depressing for me---I think that was your poll question---and it's too easy in our world here in the states to forget there even is a war going on and that's not the way it should be.
