My name is Michael and I am relatively new to this site. I am sorry to hear that you will not be participating in any of the forum discussions anymore. As I read the posts to the forum topics it has become increasingly obvious that some of the individuals here are gifted with an incredible amount of knowledge and insight. However, they were not gifted with a whole lot of tact when dealing with people that they don't know. Being inept in this area, sometimes causes people to feel that they need to respond to anything and everything. Please don't be offended by their comments, they know not what they do as being wrong. I would recommend though, that when you have a problem with one individual or two, that you send them a private message to discuss it privately rather than in the open forum. Which is a practice we should all follow.
It reminds me of when a man pulled up in front of my house and asked me for directions. He was nice and asked politely so I stepped up to the car and told him the directions, which was basically just around the corner. Another neighbor immediately stepped up to the car when I was through and told the man that when you go around the corner watch out for the crack in the road and the little fluffy dog that barks a lot and not to drive too fast because there might be children playing and one of the children is a real bully but then when you get passed them you might want to roll up your Windows because there is a house that always plays their music too loud and I don't really like that kind of music anyway but once you get past the dip in the road you'll be okay.
Some individuals here are kind of like that, extremely helpful. So I encourage you to stick around, "The needs of the many far outweigh the brains of the few".
ALS is struggle enough,
Sincerely and respectfully,
Michael
