Mama, I'll follow wherever you go. You aren't the problem here. It's the spammers,admins lack of participation and the fact that only one person moderates this forum.
The last time I saw sign of the Administrator was literally a year ago this month when he showed up to rip Chatty Cathy a new one because of her deeply personal views about the Gulf Oil Spill (which she had visited)- and he subsequently ran her off for good because he had differing political views- and he thought as administrator that his voice should trump her's..
The administrator highly offended many of us at that time- myself included... we tried to engage him in dialogue- he ignored us and refused response. I slowed down my involvement then and almost swore the place off for good just like my friend Cathy did. At that time at least 3 others left that I know of for sure- and several others appear gone too- though they never contacted me so I cannot say for certain that that's why they left.
I care a great deal for Janie, mama and several other family members here but my fondness for and appreciation of the place has absolutely nothing to do w/ the administrator. I hold no regard for him whatsoever.
Warm hugs and kindest wishes to everyone here- but I don't give a tinker's damn for the administrator, and I wouldn't go to the trouble to fart his way even if he was down-wind of me.

Thank you Kev - if it wasn't for you guys I would have packed it in a long time ago - and if anyone knows anything about WordPress - I'm trying to figure out if I can set up a chat there - grrrrrrrrrr - I'm so confused right now - I feel like I've been in a fog for a long time.
Mama I will have to ask my sis about that. She runs her own forum set up something like this one but it is all about Mommy's and their kids.
I wish there were another moderator or two to help Mama with the place. I honestly don't think it is a job I would want. At least not on this forum. In order to be an effective moderator you need to have the admins be active and communicating with you. Mama has not had either. She has stuck it out a lot longer than I would have.
The only reason I come back here much is because I miss you guys. Kevin and I keep in touch via email for the most part.
