I used to feel the same way, but now realize that it is the variety of the list personalities and subjects that have benefited me more than the PD information exchange. That and that alone is easy to obtain at many other places. I came to this realization one day while reading a personal post one to another that contained some advice directly applicable to me. Therefore, from thense on, I read or glance at them all until the thread gets stretched so thin I can't remember the starting point. I then start deleting that subject heading. There is some wheat amongst the chaff! I never joined Sparkle and never will. A steady diet day after day of the same old food gets tiresome in a hurry. It is absolutely fine just the way it is!
