First of all, I want to tell both of you that I don't consider you newcomers at all. You've both been around a while by Babble standards. I hope neither one of you feels like people are cautious of you.
Every once in a while something crops up that makes me feel self protective. And every once in a while something crops up that makes me feel angry with Dr. Bob and disenchanted with the board.
But I enjoy meeting new people. I think that's one of the delightful things about this board. You never know what new friend will stumble across it tomorrow. And I'd rather err on the side of trusting someone who maybe shouldn't be trusted than not trusting someone who should be trusted.
So you're experiencing one of the rough patches. It'll smooth out again. Minus a few people perhaps. Which really saddens me.
