Jeri,
I'm with ya. I agree with your sentiment for sure, but I do believe that there is much here to love. If there wasn't, it wouldn't bother you (and others) so much that it looks like it could be taken away by the constant trolls and flames. Tolls and flamers will start a fire, and will stoke it for a while but I truly believe that if they are ignored, eventually they will get tired of playing. Our responses are like oxygen to a fire, they can't live without it.

To Susan, it's because of the thread title that I did NOT post to the suicide thread to talk about my feelings. I suspect that a lot of folks ignored it because that is the way they have chosen to go. We're not being hypocritical, in fact, if we responded to the thread, then we would have been exactly that. There are a lot that totally agree and share your pet peeve, if not, I'll buy you a cheesecake...uh...wait a minute, don't I already owe you one? *BG*

So I would like to offer myself up as a sort of Dear Abby, but better. If you're feeling frustrated and need to vent...PM me!! Yell at me, call me names, tell me I have no right to be on the same planet with you. But then tell me you were just venting, that you really love me and we'll all feel better!!!! So whatdaya think????? Now I don't mean to make light of some very real frustrations here, I really don't but hey, some of you might really get some comfort from that kind of thing and if so...I'm here for ya!!!

Frank
