Ok... I know you're not new to the internet. It's been around for quite some time now. Private messages that are only remotely related to the topic of the thread should be sent privately. Personal admonitions and pleas from family members regarding private family events probably ought not be posted here for everybody to read them. It's not that WE mind, necessarily, but it seems like it would be more respectful to your family if you didn't air this out for all of us to read.
Unless, of course, you enjoy putting on a drama for the world to see. In that case, please pause the show while I go make popcorn.
