Oh shoot, I didn't see your new thread and I posted to the previous thread.
Great, that sounds good.
Regarding your question about how often we check other board members' threads, I was on the board nearly all the time I wasn't at work or asleep. I think it's fairly common for newcomers. Eventually, it begins to taper off. I've read where some people have to take a break b/c it's depressing for them to read about all the misery. Personally, I think it's a good idea if you find it affecting you negatively more than it's helping.
These days, I mostly reply to H's who have a wayward W. There are a few reasons for that decision, and I won't bother to explain, only that I feel I can be more helpful due to my personal experience and studies about WW's. Even then, I can't keep up with the same amount that I once was able to do. I find myself having to go back over the thread just to refresh my memory. Ugh!
So, don't feel you must read every sitch/thread. Don't feel that you have to check every day. If you are spending more time on the board than you are spending GAL or with your family.........I would suggest you set so many minutes for board time, and then shut it off and go join people IRT. Remember, balance, balance, balance. Your goal should be to not get extreme on anything.

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
