It just doesn't ever seem that we can make everyone happy. I know that a lot of us give endless hours to the board in answering e-mails. I know that I should be sleeping now, but find this is the a time I can come to the board in peace and quiet (while the children are asleep), I do feel that most of us always welcome a new member. If you look back through the archives, it seems that I see a lot of welcomes here. People do have to understand that we ourselves are in pain, and there are days that we cannot answer every single e-mail, but I do think we make an effort to welcome every new member to the board.
Just venting a little myself here; I suppose, to let others know that we are volunteering our time here out of kindness, selflessness, love, respect, not wanting to see others suffer, as we have suffered ourselves and are still suffering, or make mistakes, as we have made (and will not make them again because of this site), then get e-mails that say we are only a click and won't let others fit in.
In Friendship, kindness, love, respect, selflessness....
