Hi all again. Decided to go back and read some more.
Congratulations to DR Elmore not needing his crutches! How wonderful!
Thank you to DR Noel the information about Issadora Duncan. I knew that she had died while riding a vehicle but I just wasn’t sure what kind and I couldn't remember her name. I hate it when I have a half memory of something I know I read or heard about.
I guess no one knew the answer to my other question.
I saw the comments about this board and how everyone here gets along together and I would like to make my own, if I may. Part of the reason I think that people get along here is because they don’t pick on one another over silly little mistakes.
For instance, I know that there are writers and publishers on this board and I also know that my grammar/spelling is not the best. I know it must drive them crazy when I use the wrong punctuation and/or word (such as the wrong to/too) but instead of getting all the bent out of shape and calling me down for it they allow me to communicate as I will.
I have seen other boards were a simple infraction of grammar or spelling has caused mass flame wars.
I’m not hundred percent sure as to the other reasons why everyone here gets along so well but I am so very glad that we do. After a long hard day, coming here is like an oasis in the middle of chaos.
This is become more than a “board” to come and post on. Judging from the emails, the snail mails, the phone calls and having someone like DR Elmore take some of his time to have dinner with me when I was in New York City, I feel like I have made some genuine friends.
I guess it's just that the people of this board look past the avatars and screen names and see that there are people behind each and every one of them. I think the people of other boards forget that if you have the power to reach out and make someone laugh or chuckle at something you've posted, you should also realize that you can hurt them as well. "It's just a board. You shouldn't take it serious." just isn't realistic.
And in case I haven’t said it, Bruce, thank you for creating this place and thank you for allowing me to post here.
On that note, I think I need to say goodnight.
