Try a Little Kindness

I have attempted to read these boards several times over the past few years. Each time I am appalled by how rude and inconsiderate everyone is. Always a few frequent posters who think they "own" the boards. It makes me really sad to see so many obviously miserable people in one place. Perhaps people should try being a little supportive of one another. There is no crime in asking a question twice. There is no such thing as a dumb question. If you find it repetitious, perhaps you should just skip over it. Life is too short to always be so bitter. I am not a noobie either. I have been in this business for 27 years. Thanks for listening.

It would be a kindness for you to do it, but
one that would not often be rewarded with a thank you.

Some people don't take criticism well, even when they could learn from it.

THANKS SO MUCH to all of you for your kindness and support (sm)
I sooooo much appreciate all of you and nice to know I have so many friends out there. I don't get to see my internist until next week but you have really calmed me down a bunch. I will take your advice and try to put this out of my mind for now. Once again, thank you; you just don't know how much comfort you have given me.
