We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Honey we all feel that way sometimes. The thing is, with this group, we are all treading water a lot of the time. I know that I pull back when I am drowning. I have to force myself to come here and reach out. I'm sorry that I wasn't more supportive. It isn't about us not caring, know that without doubt. I think sometimes we need validation more than other times. Perhaps we should all have some code that says "REALLY need response now". I know that when I am super fragile, a simple "I'm thinking of you" helps a lot. I don't know why but one aspect of our disease is that we get so senstiive and down on ourselves and we think others don't like us sometimes. We all have felt it. When we pour out our hearts we are vulnerable. I suck at giving support sometimes, I admit it. But sometimes I NEED it so much. Thank you all for the times when you reached out and gave me kindness despite not having received it from me. Hang in there Richard and I hope you are feeling better today. "Thinking of you".
