Re: Let's everyone take a deep breath.......

Ahhhhh It certainly does feel better.

I'm with ya on the support issues. This is definitely a wonderful

support site and our faithful moderators have a difficult job on

their hands. One I know I personally couldn't commit to, so I do

commend them on their (especially Lori) committment.

Although I'm a hot/cold poster, I've been around for quite a while...

not as long as some, but certainly around much longer than most of

the active posters nowadays. One thing that I have seen over the

course of my time here is that the moderators try to make the best

decisions they can based on the good of the group as a whole. Their

decisions may not always be popular to a very small group of people,

but when you have a member list in the 1,000+ its going to be

impossible to please everyone. I trust that whatever decision our

moderators make will be best for the majoriy, NOT the minority, and I

am thankful for that.

(((Lori))) You've always been an encouraging and supportive person

and I personally know I can trust you to make the best decision...

you've had my back before and ref'd many a disagreement without being

harsh or rash. You're a blessing to have around and I admire your

dedication.

Huggers to Ya, and chin up.
