Hi everyone,
One of the technical problems with the board has been that people's stories (often in their first posts) are ultimately buried by subsequent posts. This is a particular problem for newbies who know nothing about the people who are responding to them. I'm hoping this board will make it easier to look up a particular member and discover/rediscover their history and background. To those who don't want to re-post /share their histories, that's fine. This is completely voluntary.
Best,
Richard
P.S. Thanks to gratitude28/Beth and teartracks for the idea!
P.P.S. I think it would be easiest if people didn't respond to people's stories here; instead post your responses on the main board.
P.P.P.S. If you have thoughts/comments about the new board, please post them on the main board.
