Really? I'm still annoyed we aren't snarking and flaming the one-offs. I like the culture here. It works great for regulars and creates a much more helpful space than allowing the clutter of people who come to take but never give. I'm not interested in being "welcoming" to people who won't be sticking around to offer support.
@babylawyer I disagree with some of the things you posted re: privacy. I've been on these forums for 15 (eek!) years and there is a way to contribute without telling too much about yourself. You live in California? Just say you are on the West cost. A lot of people posted their wedding pics with their faces hidden. This is the way to do it while still contributing. Or you can just skip these threads which I am sure a lot of people have done. I participate everyday but can still keep some privacy. I remain vague about my location, our jobs and plenty of other things. If I post pictures, I make sure there is nothing identifying.
