A little note on yesterday......

Thu, 08-07-2003 - 10:14am
We had a discussion regarding some people feeling left out, passed over, perhaps neglected when they post...I would like to address this now. I don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill, but there is obviously this issue that is bothering some people....maybe not ALL the time, but enough that it was brought out yesterday.

Connie and I do our darndest to make sure everyone gets at least one reply, but with it being such a busy board, it's so hard to catch everyone! This is going to sound a little cliche, but I'm going to say it anyway......the board is only as good as it's members. It's not what can the board do for you, it's what you can do for the board! Heehee~ okay, I'll stop now-lol. Anyway, my point is this: instead of posting a question/need for support etc and sitting there waiting for someone to respond( I know what you do- I've done it too! Click that refresh button time and again!) perhaps you can take that time to go through the board and respond to as many other posts as you can? Be sure to click the "more" button at the bottom of the busy folders so you can get the posts that have been shuffled back too fast. We need to work together! Goodness knows there are enough of us here that it shouldn't be an issue that someone feel neglected. If everyone makes a point of posting replies to others it will make a better board.

I know we are all in love with this board, and the community that we have developed here~ it shows every day how we feel....lets pass that feeling on to those who are hesitant to come out of lurkdome, and those who have just found us!


I love you all!

Very well said! I agree. Even though Tara and Connie host this board they should not be the only ones working so hard to post to everyones messages. We all need to chip in and do our part!

{{{{{{hugs}}}}}} to everyone!

Very well put!!! I have not been posting quite as much with all of our drama that DH & I have been going through, but I understand how it must feel to "feel neglected" but I also understand that this board moves so fast and it's impossible to read everything and really impossible to post to everyone. I've made a conscience decision to try to post more. I went through yesterday and posted as much as I could , especially to the welcome section, and the questions. Even if I did not know the answer, I posted something so at least it would be "bumped". I think if we all take the time to do this, no one will feel left out. Thanks for bringing this to the forefront, and I will try to do better, because I love to get responces to my post just like anybody else.

Thanks!!!!

I couldn't agree more. I try to answer as many posts as I can so everyone keeps coming back. I've been here a month and I've had posts that get lots of responses and others that don't get any. I think there are so many people that it's hard to keep up!


I'm glad we have Tara and Connie! You guys do one helluva a job keeping us together!!


Thanks for all your hard work!!

A big thanks to Tara and Connie. I love it, too, to see replies to my posts. I am trying to meake a better effort to click that more button, as I am not usually on until the late evening (although right now I am sneaking at work!!!) and many posts are already bumped off the first screen.

Great post. I love posting, I think my boss would kill me if she found out how often I'm on here posting! :D

I didn't know people were neglected, that's terrible.
