I just wanted to point out that if you just want to say a

quick " thank you " to someone, or if you want to reply to someone

personally without it posting to the forum, there's a little trick

you can do.

After you hit the reply button to reply to the post, type out your

message, use the little drop down box above your reply where it

says " " you can change the " To " to just the one person you are

replying to. That should cut down on some of the back and forth non-

related discussion on the forum.

rather personal conversations that would be nice if taken to email ---

since people who need to find information must sift through all of

them to find the actual implant related posts. I don't mean that

negatively, just saying -I don't have the energy to sort through the

takes hours I don't have. "

> Ladies, I really want you to make an effort to keep these

struggling women in mind. If you intend to make a non-informational

post about a personal item, please consider making a list of women

from the group you want to correspond with, and email it privately.

Alternatively, if you want to respond to a post with a non-

informational reply, then please do so privately and not to the whole

group. For instance, if you want to say thank you to someone who

posted something, say thank you privately.

time may be very limited or very precious. Let's just keep them in

mind, out of compassion, shall we? We can still have a fun time

here! But we just need to become more frugal with our number of

public posts. Thanks for your understanding!
