Christie,

If you were a member, I would have sent this as a personal message. As it is, I hope this thread dies soon, so people will not think of you this way, should you choose to post again. I feel that this thread was attention-seeking & in poor taste. The folks who make up this forum are loving & responsive & many, I'm sure, snarled or wept when they read this thread. Put bluntly, it's just not nice to jerk people around. You will have to earn credibility after this stunt. If you're interested in making meaningful, sincere comments, please do stay. We'd like your input.
