I no longer look forward to visiting the board when I get up now. You are correct, I feel like a friend is gone. I am comfortable with my computer, so I am able to browse the new site fairly well. But I really don't want to any more. I like knowing what I've read and having a simple road to where I want to go. I felt a few new topics would help and a link to older boards to revisit from time to time would have been welcomed by all. Just too much to say about it all......but I wonder if we'll ever know just how many are gone now. glenda
