Laura, I am glad you told us more. I wasn't all the way through the thread, but had started composing a response, and then started to get paranoid, because I was telling personal stuff in a thread begun by someone I wasn't familiar with, had relatively few posts, had begun their thread with not much more than several questions posed to the forum, and who hadn't followed up with more info. (Yes, none of these things is a "wrong", but taken together, they resulted in my starting to have little doubts.) I hate to have those niggling doubts creep in, but some past experiences here can make one paranoid. There have been a number of times in the last couple of years on PC when someone posted something, said little about their own situation, and then used people's responses to write public articles, use as research material, etc. The next thing you know, you are the topic of a blog and your words are being quoted.

Of course, there is always that danger on the Internet, but I felt reassured when you posted more. I have valued and appreciated reading people's experiences in this thread. Laura, I hope you will keep posting--it was very brave, and I don't think any cautious comments here were meant to be personal criticisms of you, just a expression of wariness.
