So sorry you lost your job....sm
Subject: So sorry you lost your job....sm

I'm no expert but if one observes posters.....you see how many people thank someone for something on the board(s).  You look for *patterns*......


I also had the pleasure of meeting webmasters/mistresses (people who own/run websites) when I first got online so I learned it from the inside out a bit. 


Be careful online, I will say that....and that boards are notorious for hit-and-run types of posters.  Let me add that the administrator and moderators here keep it together better than most websites I have experienced back in those days!! 


And people like me.....watch and observe, and I'm not a webmaster/mistress by any stretch of the imagination.  You'll catch on rather quickly might I add......everyone eventually does. 


Best luck!!
