Wow, 700!  I only have about 100 and can't find time to read them all.  Like
you, I tend to browse most of them and only read the ones I'm most interested
in.
Sad about all the flaming isn't it?  It seems to be happening more and more
all the time and in echos that you wouldn't expect it.  I also think more
and more people are going to the internet and leaving Fido behind.  That's 
one reason things are so slow around here.  We seem to have 4-5 regulars and
a lot of guys, like you, who come around every now and again. :)

I sure wish we had something like that around here.  The nearest support
group to me is 100 miles south in Dallas.  I take their newsletter and every
month I tell myself I'm going to attend a meeting, but that's as far as it
gets.  Just too far to travel, especially in this heat.
Sure is good to hear from you.  You've always been one of the most supportive
people around here.  Keep in touch.
Hugs...Bob
