Dinah,
Maybe I should apologixe to you. I did not intend to make anyone feel bad. In fact, I have appreciated the fact that you answer my posts. It makes me feel ...
... it makes me feel.I guess what is important is that being new sucks. It is the same for going into a new school, a new job, a new group, etc. It is very hard to feel secure. So, when a post isn't responded to, or when someone says "I received no responses" when, in fact, there was a response, it just enforces the feeling of insecurity.
I honestly don't think anyone means to encourage the feelings, but it happens. So, don't worry that you have done something wrong. Quite the opposite. You are quick to share your knowledge and feelings. You are articulate and insightful. Most of all, you show us all that there is true caring in this board. Us "newbies" are trying to be patient, but our own insecurities seem to get in the way.
