The only thing she should have done differently would have been to try
out her vacation program *before* leaving town.  But that's a mistake
that any of us could make.

I've been watching, and the requests for her to stay on the list far
outnumber the previous complaints.  You can see them all in
 http://www.mids.org/sinclair/archive/

That archive is updated daily with messages from the list.  I have
removed all but one of Julie's vacation messages so the other messages
are more visible.
