It's a shame when that happens with forums/message boards...sometimes a place that feels like 'home' changes too much to feel like that any more. I used to read/post to one in particular -really my first exposure to an online 'family', and in time, alas it just went downhill.
I've been thrilled to find this board, so far it seems like a great place to hang your hat, chat and LEARN a lot!
Glad we both found it!
