gary g, I know where you're coming from, and I aplaude you. My wife and daughter say that I'm a control freak, and they are right! When things get complicated and others 'see' the rules in a different light to me I get edgy and I feel things are about to fall apart; they don't though, life is organic, it grows and it changes. That I have learned, for example, often I for one just don't know what's coming out of the end of my fingers as I type, whether it's a message to a board or a letter to my daughter. Just sitting here in some sort of pain blinded haze and having something to do is a godsend. (Maybe we should just type and not send? I don't think so). You are right, we should respect each other. And I feel deeply that we do. And hey man, I've only been using this site for a month and I can see and feel that! When we come home we like to kick our shoes off and feel we can loosen up from the constraints of dealing with a non-CH environment; but you are right, home is were we learn to respect and consider others. But, this has to be a respect generated from love and not fear, though that is too too strong a word for what I really have in mind.

Oh by the way, what do you mean by 'chatty messages'? May not these too be driven by a need? And if the board is called a 'Message Board', maybe some of us think that's what it's for, messages. Should it be renamed 'Important Messages'? Hey, what's more important that us talking to each other? I for one enjoy reading the non-medical stuff, I enjoy listening in to the other family members chattering to each other. It feels more like home and I love it!

Warm thoughts to you Gary G.
