Hi AmyC,
I don't think we've met, but I've read some of your posts on others threads. For instance, I've tried to keep up with KS Chick. It seems to me you were or did post alot, so I've seen you around. I've been impressed with your comments.

I don't no your sitch though. It's hard to find. I don't see a link in your post.

I would like to be more involved, trying to help others, support others, like I was supported. I picked up a couple of newbies at one point and worked with them. They have both fallen off the boards, at least for now. I have tried to keep up with some others, like KS Chick, but often she, and many others post so much, and often short, make sense only in context posts. It's hard to follow and catch up.

Maybe I could be a support for you, at least a small one?

Another perspective is that many on these boards are lucky to have one or two people reading and posting to them. The 2 I was helping... I was often the only one to respond to them. I think you are lucky if you have about 5 still interacting with you.

I had a great team, and luckily I had them early when I needed them. They have gone. Fortunately, they have gone because their sitches got so good they stopped coming to the boards. Cool. I need, we need, to see success stories. I hope to be one myself (sure takes longer than I'd like though).

Pressure from 'over the top' praise: I can see how you might feel it. I don't think it's helpful if the person receiving the advice starts to idealize the adizor too much. I think it's natural they would. They need a hero, or rather want a hero, to solve their problems. Of course, they have to learn to be their own hero.

I have read a few (too few) of Frank's posts and have been generally impressed too. If you don't mind, Frank, I'll try to catch up and join you.

Amy, I'm really sorry your in a downhill slide. I'll listen if you want to talk, or if you point me to the right thread/posts to read. I'm struggling with the "is this worth it" thoughts. Is that some of what your feeling?

thanks,
