Hi Lisa,
Thank you for sharing that with us. I think we all probably wondered at first what cd.com would be like and whether we would fit in or not.
I think that the admins and mods do a great job of fostering the kind of warmth and support that you mentioned. Whatever else you do or don't learn from this web site, I hope that you will remember that you are a valuable person in your own right and that just because you don't have the same experiences as someone else doesn't make you wrong or an outcast.
I have found that some of the best support I have received on these forums came from people who cared enough to ask me to think again about what I was proposing/wanting to do so that I could be sure I was not making a mistake.
Mind you, I have also basked in the "you go girl!" type of support too and don't know whether I would be where I am today without the broad range of support and advice I have received here.
So once again, thank you for expressing your appreciation and I hope to read a lot more from you in the future.
