    It wasn't that long ago that I was a newbie here and hung on every thread and reply. In the short time I've been here, many things I've learnt, many attitudes, many opinions, but the one thing I remember most of all is how I was welcomed here. Never ever underestimate how a simple hello can mean to a newbie.

    Thanks for the reminder Jonathan. I think sometimes we all forget how important that first hello is.

    You are right js. When we come hear to heal after losing many that we were close to (or thought we were close to) it helps to know that there are others who can relate and will welcome you.

    That is so true although i do not reply much i read and take in as much as i can (time permitting) this is the only time that i feel sane and a real person. That is the biggest crime of the org. they take everything away and leave such a big hole. if it wasn't for this kind of contact many i think could and would be lost. THANKS TO ALL!!!!!
