Dear Joyce: I have to agree with Stan that seeing everybody's message you soon begin to realize that the members are real people. It is of also significant to the new people that sign up and need immediate help. They will get to know each one of us as a person with similar problems to theirs etc. I agree that it is takes time sometimes to go through a high volume of messages but so does any learning. Learning and support is what this is all about and the time is well spent satisfying this need. Joyce, I hope you will not be offended by this message, I only tried to point out that there are other veiwpoints and justifications for letting everybody see the messages.
