Have been checking in all day to see how others have responded to the original questions presented by Ygrec23 and I am glad this topic came up.

If this was still a very small community (100 or less), perhaps the answer might be a thread where new and returning members could post their thoughts about what type of assistance they are looking for. But this site is so huge that it doesn't seem realistic (to me) to try to do that.

So, I will continue on as I have from the start. I will welcome new people and let them know this is a great community full of support. I will visit the forums where I believe I might possibly have some experience with the issues someone has posted.

I will continue to read much more than I post. If I do respond, it will usually be in a way that lets a person know I have gone through a similar issue and here is what has worked for me or what I am trying to do myself to handle my issue.

Finally, I will continue to keep my posts relatively short. I would rather come back and post another short post than try to wade through long ones that remind me of college lectures. (No offense intended towards those who write long posts - just my personal reaction).
