I think that it is wonderful site and very informative. That said, I can see where there could be problems. I took some time off for a while because it seemed like some people were becoming very argumentative (for a short time) and I believe that everyone's beliefs and opinions have value. I don't have to agree with them but niether do I feel that I should respond in a hurtful manner. Coming back, I have found a much busier board in which it seems that sometimes individual posts can get lost. I don't mean this in any way to be a criticism but am merely observing it. One can choose to take this personally or understand that it is factor of growth and know that it is reaching an ever growing population of people who need it. I have found this to be the most helpful and informative site on the web. Thanks, Joe, for making this available for us.
