I am sort of disappointed by this new NLP mailing list.  I just
discovered the 'alt.hypnosis' list recently and I am enjoying
it very much.  It was a wonderful way to meet NLP practitioners
and others with an interest in hypnosis.  It seemed a great
place to share ideas with those who could offer suggestions and
with those who would find them new and remarkable.  Now I
must look in two places...and I will either have to post answers
to two places or make a decision about which one is more likely
to benefit me and others.

And then I come to the end of the announcement which more or 
less uninvites me from the 'alt.hypnosis' list since it states
that alt.hypnosis is "not for NLP".  I have a great deal of
trouble explicitly separating NLP from hypnosis expsince I learned
most of my techniques from NLP practitioners and have found
only a few other sources of hypnosis instruction (they do exist)
that are clear and repeatable.  The NLP vocabulary provides a rich &
useful means to talk about the methods and effects of hypnosis
and a framework for understanding much of what hypnosis 
accomplishes.  Almost all NLP practioners have at least an implicit
interest in hypnosis even if the reverse is not true.

Should I leave here totally?  How should I configure my postings
if I stay?  Does ANYONE actually object PERSONALLY to my use
of this bandwidth?  On what basis do you object and how can I 
modify my behavior to be respectful of YOUR ideas of what is 
appropriate?

I will n,ot of course, PROMISE to comply fully but I thought
that I was behaving correctly and offering useful ideas.  I
can only consider a change if I have information to base it
upon.

BTW, I take no offense at Jon Nowak's posting of this information.
I may be misunderstanding, he may be mistaken about the waste of
bandwidth, he may not have intended to imply this, he may be 
correctly reminding me of my manners, he may not be referring to
me, etc...
