I think it must be very hard running a message board.
Very time consuming lots of demands and not much sleep.
I think it would probably be very stressfull..
That would aggravate any condition one may have.
And it's hard to function well on not much sleep.
And I think it could make one become more behind in the things they intend to do, get done, everyday.
Expecially ten years of it.
Thats a long time.
Expecially when one is not feeling well.
I don't know how he does it and we don't pay for it he does.
We use this board for free besides our internet providers bill.
I can understand why the owner of the message board I have been on.. though mostly here now.
Almost threw in the towel.
And how he said we can be on and off when we want too..
Walk away from it...
But he can't...
Expecially when he had to do the job of the moderator too.
As the moderator left.
It's a job for him not us.
And plus he got tired of the bickering on the board over the years and the nasty E-Mail's he got off board..
He said you all have no idea all the names I've been called
and that he has had to develop a thick skin because of it.
I could not hold my temper that well myself in a situation such as that.
And he pretty much did.
With lack of sleep and going through all that about daily..
Even weekly I just don't know how people that run busy talk board's do it..
I couldn't..
And then work off board too..
It takes a skill and a time commitment that I don't have.
I think sometimes we don't see what goes on on the other side
of the board and the owner of the talk board I've been on reminded us all of that.
How really hard it can be.
To be patient with all this and ..
It was straight from the heart and he told it like it is.
Well..
He decided to keep the message board running as lots of people asked him, please don't close the board.
How much it meant to them.
How sad they would be.
So he didn't but the board users do benefit more then the board owner I do believe , but like you.
He keeps it going because he believes in the cause..
He pays alot of it out of his own pocket but he does so for our benefit.
I know you try to be patient with us..
I think we should try to be alittle more patient with you too.
Because it may be that your just overworked, tired , not feeling well and behind.
Sometimes more then others over the years.
Thats probably it.
Maybe we can start again from there..
But when it comes to just being human..
Nobodies perfect.
I know I'm not.
Maybe we can all start from there..
Start again..

Take Care
