I have a few questions I really need to have input from the family on, please either post here or email me if you do not want to share this information with the whole family. These are important to me and your input is important to me, if you have no reply please post letting me know that. Every bit of input is important to me!!! From every single person!!! If you are comfortable sharing your view here post away, if you prefer to answer these in private email me at [email protected] Thank you :) 1. Do you feel comfortable skipping over a discussion or board if you are no longer interested in the topic, or tired of reading about it, or any other reason a person would want to skip a post or board? 2. Do you feel people should be allowed to stay in the family if they will not share their email with either the entire family or just with me? (this is actually a two part question) 3. If a person does not want to post, do you feel they should still be family or does it make you feel uncomfortable having them in the family? 4. If one person posts many more times than the others, (like I do sometimes), does it bother you or does it depend on person or reason? (three parter) 5. Do you feel it is too easy to become family here or not easy enough? We do not need a reason why someone wants to be here, only that they do want to be here. No one is removed for not posting or not having contact. They are only removed if they break the "do no harm" rule. We have NEVER banned anyone, removed them yes but never banned. 6. Do you feel on-going posts serve a purpose? Today I..., Million Count Thread, Vent here Please, and others, or do they get old or make you feel negative in anyway? 7. Do you have any problems, complaints, concerns, suggestions, comments, or anything at all that you do not feel has been addressed or given proper treatment? 8. What do you feel is important in our new home? Adjustable fonts, pictures, multiple discussion boards, chat, animations, or whatever you feel is important. If you could tell me in a priority list :). 9. Do you feel a chat room is more private than using IM for chats, scheduled or unscheduled? Do you feel a chat room is needed in order for us to chat with each other? PLEASE I really need and want everyone's input, email me [email protected] or post here, but please speak your minds and tell me the whole honest truth. A family cannot survive with no input or only one person's views. I need you!!! There is no right or wrong answer, only your honest answer. Please family I really need everyone to speak up on this. If you choose to email me ([email protected]) instead of posting, I will include your information with the final combinded answers. Remember the only thing that would be bad, is not to say anything. |

wow, that's a lot of questioons. I love the msn messenger chat, and I also like to chat over the web cam. I think that everyone can stay a member, if someone doesn't post, perhaps they are getting help by reading. Yes, if there is a discussion that I am not interested in, or are tired of--I dont feel bad if I don't answer every post. I think that the Today I....and other threads are a great way to include snippets of our daily lives and get to know each other better. Will answer the others as I think of them. Thanks for this--this is nice and everyone can say what they feel. LinLin |

1. If I have nothing pertinent to say, I'll skip posting on a board. Some days I'm just too foggy to do more than just read new posts, so will skip replying on those days. 2. I think once a person has been here a few weeks and is interested in staying in the family that someone else in the family should have their email to keep in touch with them if they aren't heard from in a while, and to send notices about the group. I don't think they should have to share it with the whole group if they are not comfortable with that. 3. I think that as long as everyone checks in on a regular basis that they don't need to be posting on all the boards if they are not comfortable doing so. Not everyone is as chatty as some of us here, but they may get something from reading the posts. 4. Doesn't matter to me who posts or how often they post. Everyone is different. 5. If someone applys to be a member they should be given the same chance as the rest of us. 6. I like the ongoing posts. 7. nope 8. adjustable font sizes, pictures, multiple discussion boards. Chat is not so important as we can all chat on messenger if need be. 9. see #8 Jacki |

HI MOM, LET'S SEE. I TRY TO READ EVERY POST, BUT WHEN MY EYES ARE ACTING UP I DO SOMETIMES SKIP THE THREADS. BUT THE TREADS ARE GOOD FOR SOME PEOPLE SO I WOULDN'T CLOSE THEM. I DON'T THINK ANYONE CAN POST TO OFTEN! NOR DO I THINK YOU CAN POST TO FEW. IF SOMEONE DOESN'T WANT TO SHARE THEIR E-MAIL WITH ANYONE THEN THEY SHOULDN'T BE IN A GROUP. MY MEMOIR IS REALLY BAD SO THAT'S ALL I CAN ANSWER THIS TIME. TERI |

1. My time and energy are limited, so I skip a lot. I'm sure many have the same issues I do. We should all work at trying to eventually read and reply to as many posts as were are able to. 2. Even though we are family, I can understand why some would feel uncomfortable with sharing their e-mail with an entire group. However, they should provide that information to you or at least one of the Bolds. 3.I have mixed emotions on that one. You have to be wary sometimes. However, there are many members in my bead group, and not a whole lot of posting. They have a wealth of great links and tutorials, so it's a place where you can spend a lot of time and get a great deal of help without ever posting. If I have accessed these links, though, I try to post to let them know how helpful they've been, and to express my thanks. Those that have been helped by a link here should attempt to do so as well. Don't be shy. We do NOT bite, and we are fluent in typo!! I have one friend that's a horrible speller, but loves to just post away!! So, give it a go! 4. I think one can only post too little. But, then again, sometimes my keyboard needs pain management more than I do. LOL 5. It took me about a month to get in :( But I'm happy to be here now :) 6. I think as long as a thread is getting replies, it serves a purpose. 7. I'd like to see more participation. And while this is a support group, I realize we don't want to dwell on that all of the time. Still, I don't see very much asking for, or offering it, in general here. I DID get some good responses to my fibro question, so thanks for that!! But overall, I'm not seeing this as much as I thought I would here...for all members. 8. Fonts large enough for those that need them to be is a must. The MSN group feels like home, so finding something as close to that would be good. But I think the most important thing is that it's user friendly. No matter how "pretty" it is, or how many features it offers, it won't get used if people cannot figure it out. 9. IM can be as private as a chat room. I know there's a lot of debate on that one. I can, and have, worked comfortably with both options. The only thing I can think of for chatrooms over IM is that the person entering can be fully prepared to do so. With IM, they can be entered into the conversation when they are not quite ready. However, this can be easily remedied should it happen. Just leave the IM session and set yourself to appear offline. Come back when you are ready. OK, I'm tired now. LOL Betta Sue |

Hi Smile :) I for one would miss you if you wouldn't allow me to remain a member. My time on the internet is a little time here and a little time there. I get a lot out of being able to read everything and know that there is someone out there for me. Even though I don't post very much it doesn't mean that I don't care or think about all of you and what you suffer through day in and day out. Sometimes it's nice just to know that I'm not the only one. There are so many different levels of Fibromyalgia and not any one person suffer it in the same way. As for the rest of the questions? I don't feel uncomfortable with any of it. If you did a group chat where anyone could go and see if there was someone around it might work for me. Love & Hugs, msklon |
