Very well said Ray,

Thank you,

Re: Emails and the way they are

interpertated..............

Good thoughts... I've actually went to a seminar on this very

subject. In a nutshell, socially we may feel it necessary to watch

our Ps & Qs in order not to hurt anyone and most of us strive to be PC

(politically correct). However, there are those time in our lives

when we read and interpret things based on our current situations

and sometimes write something that is totally misconstured as

negative or confrontational by someone else.

In a forum such as this, we have to recognize that there are

probably more than 10,000 people that stop in here and read or type

their thoughts and opinions. While most are just an opinion of

someone who has a different feeling or experience than ourselves, we

shouldn't necessarily take their opinion as criticism(sp?). In this

venue, very few of us know one another in a personal way. Even

though we've shared some deep feelings and asked for advice, we have

to realize that we open ourselves to public opinion, whether we like

it or not.

I would say that probably 95% of the messages that I have read in

this group are positive and up lifting. The remain 5% vary in degree

of support or non-support, even rudeness. But again, that is a rare

instance from my perspective. Maybe its due to all of the negative

comments and looks that we have recieved through our days as obese

people that we take some comments as criticism.

Opinions are free for the asking, knowledge is divine and usually

comes with price.
