I’m curious as to why you keep deleting the comments that have been posted about this? I’ve seen at least two deleted so far.

There’s not much difference between a blog and a forum. It’s just that on blogs, nobody can disagree with you.

Yes, some of us are the nobodies that no one listens too. It’s not that we don’t want to interact with real people - it’s just that you “real people” are too busy. Can’t be bothered. So our only ‘voice’ is the online forum where we get a chance to be with others, to have someone pay attention to us without resenting us for intruding. I’m sure you think that’s very sad, but it’s a lot better than the alternatives.
