{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{FuzWuz}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} I think the way the board is set up has a lot to do with it, too. The Yahoo groups are a waste for me. Somehow, it seems so dang impersonal. My posts went unanswered on some of their anxiety sites, I don't care how patheric or how up my posts were. If your name isn't recognized or seen over and over again, chances are, you'll be ignored. Some of those groups are also very busy and it seems that people just log on to read a response to one post and that's it.
The way this site is set up makes it for a closer community. It's easy to get to know each other. The problem recently, though, in MHO, is the big influx of new members. It's hard to keep up with all of them. When I'm feeling emotionally strong, I go out of my way to answer posts that haven't received any responses in say, a day. There was a time when I'd welcome every new member, but like I said, there's so many of them nowadays I just can't keep up!

And then sometimes I just think that Ozzie is our welcoming committy and she'll get it.

LOL She's just too good. See what I mean? It's not because someone isn't liked or too whiney. It's just that poop happens sometimes, ya know?
