Something Chelee wrote made me think about this. When we write, we sometimes just want to vent, or we want information, but almost always we want to be acknowledged. So even if nobody has any practical information, we need to know that we have been heard.

I'm glad Chelee pointed this out. We have no body-language on this forum, so we don't see the concern, the compassion, the love and friendship that surrounds us when we are in a tough situation. We need words to express those feelings, even though it's sometimes hard to find the right words.

If there are no words, the person who posted may feel very lost and isolated and alone.
