[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 172963, member: 84"] Like someone else said, there are lukers on the board who for whatever reason never post. Sometimes even if something someone offers as advice in a reply doesn't help (at that moment) the person they're responding to....odds are they're probably a dozen or more reading it going "Oh, wow! I didn't know that." or "hey, that sounds like me" Or whatever. And they [B]are [/B]getting something from the response. Ages ago when I first came to the board I didn't know dittle about computers, let alone how to navigate a board such as this. So for a while, too scared to post myself, I read posts made by others and the replies. Responses don't have to be factual, or long and drawn out to be helpful. Sometimes humor is the best thing, sometimes it's just knowing someone is listening who really does understand, and sometimes a simple cyber hug can make someone's whole day. I've learned so much from this board I don't think I could sit and write it all down. And not all of it about difficult children. I've learned things about relationships, employement, education, pets, weather........Well, I could probably go on forever as we discuss about everything here. lol When I respond to a post I know going in that I'm not a doctor. All I've got to draw on is some medical training, lots of experience, life experience, and the intention of helping someone else in whatever way that might be. And Steely, I do find your posts helpful. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
