Seems as if your snapshot of the board and the "chat" did not meet your needs. That's what happens when you come into the middle of a conversation. You miss all the supportive discussions and emails and checking on your friends to make sure that they are coping. If I could only talk about pain and medicines, I would have no need of this MB. I can find the latest scientific extrapolations with the click of a mouse. I come to to this place to talk with friends who understand what I go through, people who I know will be there to joke with me about ants and grasshoppers and exorcists and even my stupid poems. I keep coming back, hoping that something I say will help someone else laugh in the midst of tears and a snotty nose. What I don't come here for is to be told what I can or cannot say or how to say it. I get cluster headaches. They hurt like nothing else. The people here know that and would drive to my house and hold my head and put an icepack on it, (or give me an atomic wedgie if that's what I needed). Fortunately, they also put up with my stupidity and insults because I (reluctantly) put up with theirs. If you stick around, you might even be able to tolerate me.
