this thread makes me feel sad... sad that reaching out to another in a heartfelt way has descended into an argument of sorts that detracts from the reasons we are all here at PC...

in my personal opinion (for what’s it worth), i don’t believe that anyone would donate support, time, money or whatever purely to become a member of an “exclusive” forum... but i can also see how some may feel left out or excluded when the forums exsistence seems to have sprung out of nowhere...

i am not sure i understand the need for a separate forum although i have nothing against it either... i think this kind of stuff is a trigger for me... it feels confusing... i hate it when it feels like the overall good reason this came about has somehow been overshadowed by the argument...

i don’t know the answer...
