pam, there are discussions on the board like you described, some are on the discussions board, otehrs are scattered but can be located in
Message Archives . for the most part they arent used, but i figure members have the option if they want. as far as "silly" posts, there are many of those, again, check the archives.
i would like to know if theres anything i can do for all of you members, to make you feel more like sharing whats going on with you? you can
email me privately, if you prefer. remember too that this group is locked, so only other members can see what you write.
in checking another thread, i discovered i did have some ideas from members i never implemented, so i will get going on those.
