I'm sorry you feel that way. Most of us feel that our webmaster is working her tail off trying to maintain a place where we can give each other support. Do you happen to be a UBB specialist? If so, maybe you could volunteer your services instead of calling names.

Oh, and I think you may want to look up the word "flagellate." To quote my favorite movie, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." Our webmaster has quite enough difficulty trying to keep this place running *without* beating herself up - and I have faith that she's more sensible than that.

We love you, Andrea!

I take umbrage with your comments about Andrea. Kindly keep a civil tongue in your head when speaking of anyone on these message boards, and especially our esteemed webmaster who is making all of this possible for FREE.

If you're so displeased with our wonderful Webmaster Andrea, then why did you bother to re-register? You could always start your own little perfect site.

Kdood, Ditto all of the above. If it's THAT much of an inconvience, why would you bother? Andrea has managed to pull this sight back together so we can stay in touch with those we care about.
Hang in there Andrea you're doing a great job!!
Love

Jackie

I think this site is amazing, it works wonderfully, the people, including the webmaster are extremely helpful. This site is free, please enlighten me to a better one and I will bite my tongue. We don't even have full use of this website because of the flood of new people overloaded the previous server (oops I was part of that I think ) Yet the site is still one of the best I have seen. We are all on here to provide and receive encouragement and comaraderie, negativity is not needed here, especially when it is towards the person who made all of this possible.

Thank you SO much Andrea.

Kdood,

In the future, I suggest you FIND OUT WHAT'S HAPPENED before you so openly criticize...

For your information, a LOT has happened since you last bothered to check in here.
Andrea (our AWESOME webmaster) was featured on eDiets (her incredible success story). Well, the story was SO POPULAR that our site took HUGE hits over the course of several days. The server just could not handle the load and the old site completely CRASHED.

Andrea has been working NIGHT and DAY with little or no sleep trying to repair things.
She has sacrificed her time, her sleep, her family, her very last penny trying to provide this interim (final?) site for us!
This was NOT some "whim."

Obviously, you have raised the ire of myself and many others on this site and I think an apology is in order.
After all, it took you like, what, ONE MINUTE to re-register?

This has always been a loving, supportive site, and if you will take a minute to familiarize yourself with it, you will see that.
{{{HUGS}}} to Andrea for all of her hard work!

Summer

alright, I think this thread has gone on long enough.

thanks for all the kind comments from everyone except the thread starter. you are all why I do this!!!

as for the thread starter, i realize that having to re-register is an inconvenience, but on the other hand, so is having to read posts from grouchy people like you.

so we're even.
