Hi Chris,
I am very new to this board -- in fact, I'm new to this whole cyber-chat type thing! So, I really wasn't sure if I was SUPPOSED to respond to people's postings to me ... I was glad to read your message, because it confirmed that it's okay to say "thanks," even it that's all you have to say.This is my first visit to the adminstration board; I have been using the med board since that's where my current issues are.
I will look for your posts. Sounds like we have the same "belief system." Always nice to find a new brother.
Hope to see you back soon,

> 3. I have nothing to say
> 4. I don't want to say the wrong thing to a person I am not acquainted with

> 2 & 4 are the most likely factors that will lead me to contribute posts towards people I know, and to "ignore" the people I don't know. It isn't that there is a popularity contest occurring, it's just that I know the boundaries with certain ppl - I know what i can say, and what I can't say, and I know that they won't judge me.
