I appreciate the input, and understand what you mean. I have similar relationships with several members on a nursing forum that I frequent, and for all we know we might be seen as cliquish ourselves, even though we're really not. We are leaders, though, and we have to be aware of how we use our influence because we really do set the tone for the entire board.

You, Trippin', and several others I can't think of at the moment are the de facto leaders of this forum, and I for one pay attention to what y'all have to say, because you handle your illness so differently than most of us do. I learn from you guys every time I visit here.
