Re: Should I open my big mouth or not?

,

I just want to BACK up what you are saying. I actually joined

this group over 3 years ago to find help for my daughter. About 7

mos. ago I had to cancel my membership because the board very rarely

has any clubfoot related issues on it anymore and my box was

constantly full. It just takes sooooo long to go through each

message and find out who needs actual support or help. I think it

is awesome that the board has brought so many people together. Alot

of moms have met people and become friends.......I think that once

that happens people need to exchange email addresses or instant

message! For new members to come on the board and read through the

first pages of messages and find NOTHING related to clubfoot that

may make them look elsewhere. Just a thought from me too.....

Kori-

I joined--I think membership needs to be moderated somehow just due

to all the sick/crazy people that are out there. Just an idea since

we have gotten some interesting people trying to join CFPics!

Or you could just read directly from the list as I do, just save it to

your favorites or bookmark it.
