Funny you should ask GEL, because I just sent an email to Lil. I wanted to keep this off the board but since you asked, I guess I will make a public statement.
Some people are not is any position to use this board effectively. I am clearly one of them and I think Chrome is very similar to me in that regard, so no suprise that things went too far. As I stated to Chrome recently, some people (like us) have an addiction/compulsion problem and a board like this (which I loved in many ways) is just fueling the addiction --- to connections, to attention, etc. And in our unhealthy world, those connections will trump working on our M's every time.
Therefore, I need to stay off the boards. It makes me feel worse about my M and I am finally coming to a point that I can truly see that, before I was in denial.
I don't want to get any further into the R with Chrome. It was not healthy and that is that. He is a good person but just confused like so many of us.
I hope all of you find some happiness in your M. I am off to live in the real world again and hopefully find some myself.

It's been a fun, strange, emotional ride with all of you and I will truly miss all of your personalities and feedback.
