Thanks all. I know there are a lot of good people here. I just remember what it was like to have questions and how good it felt (still feels) to get answers. It took me a while to figure out the ins and outs of the forum (including the search function)!!

i, just about everyday. check "unanswered posts" and answer as many as i can.

I'm a newbie! I just babble off what I've heard otherwise I'm useless!

I try to answer what I know and others I kinda pass up because its repeats so much and I usually would have to Post and copy repeated forums in the past to read up on. There is so much we can do with this happy place. Yeah, I'm one of the "old folks from the other BYC" and I've enjoyed watching this website growing by leaps and bounds!

Anyway, all of us do have an option to respond or not. Dont despair tho, there will be an answer sooner or later! If you really need an answer pronto, just bump it up and Yell out "ANYONE???????)

I usually try to check the unanswered posted every time I am on line, I think if they post they need something, and if I can I help,But there is so many of them. I'm glad everyone else is also trying tohelp. marrie

I go through the list daily. I do not answer BST threads.

I try, when I've the opportunity. I expect that the site's DB is good enough at this point that, if Rob killed the forum and just maintained a search page, nearly all questions could still be answered. But, it is more about sharing, than info, isn't it?

I really do try to keep in mind that we were, all of us, out on a limb at one time or other:

I go to the unanswered posts every day too and help where I can. Still being pretty new, I don't know the answers to a lot of them but being here sure helps teach us! It's great knowing so many others go there and help when they can too

You know... this thread made me think a lot about what it's like to join a new group -- especially a close-knit busy group like this one.

I see posts about something sad, and the multiple responses from regulars - "so sorry to hear that!", "oh, my heart goes out to you", and so on.

When I am new to a group I do not respond a lot to these threads (even though I TOTALLY feel sympathy) because I feel like an outsider encroaching on someone's family funeral. Like people are going to think I'm all "I'm one of you!" right away, you know?

After a few weeks, once I see whether I am accepted to the group (or not), then I feel OK about getting more personal.

I've joined one or two groups in the past where I never was accepted- some groups are very very close-knit... just a few 'chosen' regulars. I usually leave quickly.

THIS group is truly unique and kind of amazing!

I have never seen this much unity, real caring, and consistent friendliness. Usually I see in-fighting between some regulars who just won't give up, arguing, disagreements and regulars who throw their weight around with the tender newbies.

So far I haven't seen any of that here!
