I think this thread is a good opportunity for us to express ourselves...we cant stop expressing ourselves...otherwise the purpose of PC will be meaningless...

We all appreciate people here, and this thread is a good opportunity to express our love for one another...not a single person was targetted or made to feel left out...the ones here who feel left out are definately on lists, but just not of the ones posted...you think of the amount of members there are here, just because your name isnt listed, doesnt mean you are invisible or unloved, just means that the people that love and appreciate you havent posted yet... i have been mentioned on one list...and im fine by that...doesnt make me feel worthless, or invisible. im flattered to be on one list...i didnt expect to be on any...and im fine with that. why is it a problem?

what i would say, if i may, is that to any of you who feel hurt or uncomfortable, or victimised by this thread...just steer away from it and remember you have members here that love and appreciate you...members who WOULD love to meet up for a drink...but so many members dont post often anymore...

think of the phrase: "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it make a sound?" relate that to this situation..."if you arent mentioned, does it mean NO ONE cares"...the answer to both questions is "NO".

its not worth being offended by such innocence...maybe those of you who are upset or offended, join in and make your own list of potential coffee mates, then those in your list will know you are thinking of them, and they will add you to their list...its a two-way thing.

i was going to make a list...but i will give it a miss...but i know the list in my mind...thats all that counts i suppose...and those on the list know who they are too.
