Rusell,
Bud I've learned to respect you thus is tough to even have a different opinion other than the one you have. With that being said, and as you described, opinions are just that. You still one of my favorites posters here BTW.
Jason,
I have equal respect for all posters.
We are a community of voices who like to give our opinions on virtually any and all subjects.
Our collective opinions are just that ''opinions''.
Some opinions are or responses are ''liked this post'' or ''Dislike this post''.
When one creates a thread ,we have to expect one response or the other.
There are veteran posters and there are 'newbies'..... many newbies whom are looking for advice tend to gravitate towards the more established Members of the Dr1 site.
On the other hand there are Newbies whom may have vastly greater experience than the longer term Members of Dr1... and so their opinions will surface as being logical, informative , factual, acceptable , and perhaps out of our ''pay grade'' so to speak.
What I am totally in opposition from one poster on one subject I may totally agree on another.
I do not make or take it personal, never become defensive and not paranoid from responses.
Most importantly of all is ''assume nothing''!
On Dr1 we have Women, Men,LGBTQ ; Lonely , alone , those suffering and those fortunate to have a day when everything goes right. But, we are here and for the most part we are the ''invisible community'' both in the RD and outside.
I have posted and found tremendous compassion, and I got my ass kicked a time or two.
The same was with my own Family while attempting to grow up. (Not sure that has totally evolved as of yet).
In conclusion , ''I have no favorite Posters on Dr1''.... or, ''all posters are my favorites''.
You have a Happy Easter.
Russell
