Everyone read!

[NikDC]

Couple of things need to be said...

1. Please remember that Shelly is extremely busy and is so sweet to take her time to be here. She gets to as many questions as she can but please limit your questions. She has a backlog beyond this page that I know she tries to get to, but it's hard when people keep bombarding her with more. I'll just ask you to use good judgment and not to monopolize her time.

2. Please don't PM Shelly. She may not ask you but I will... again, she's here to answer questions for everyone and expecting her to answer everyone's PMs AND posts is just too much. Don't deluge her.

3. Put a subject in your title so that others know if your question interests them.

4. Please use good judgment when posting your questions. Respect Shelly and Christina as much as you usually would and keep your questions on that level. If the questions are too personal, Mike or I will remove them when we see them, if we beat Shelly to them. Don't put her in an awkward position.

and finally

5. Shelly is not here to do personal favors for anyone. There's no way she possibly could help everyone who wants or needs it. Please don't ask for special favors from her. It puts her in an awkward position and makes us have to edit your request out which can make your entire post read funny.

Now do you all see why I keep coming back here? Some of you might not realize it, but the moderators here are absolutely fantastic. There are some things that fall in an area of sensitivity for me to come out and tell people myself, but here she's said them all. Thank you again NikDC. And thanks, too, to Mike and Richard and to everyone who is so very considerate, protective and sensible. You make it always such a pleasure for me to be able to continue on here. The most awkward place for me is one where I find myself having to either ignore requests or flat out say no (apologetically, of course), just because if I were to do something for one, it's only fair to do it for all (which in my case, means several hundred!) ...which of course is impossible for me to do. Thanks so much again for your consideration and understanding. I appreciate that more than you know.

God bless. :)
