Nice post Mark!!!!!
I might add that if you post a topic or enter into one,,and you don't get noticed right away,,PLEASE, don't let THAT discourage you or allow that to make you feel your not liked...
IT TAKES TIME to be seen and noticed on here...About two or three weeks of regular postings you will be seen and recognized by others.
If you email someone you have not spoke to before on here through a post or
a hello,,in the welcome thread,,YOU may not get a return reply,,ONLY because they might feel you a stranger...so again,,PLEASE don't sweat-it,,,
Just always know in this world we live here,,PEOPLE have to feel your safe and something through reading your posts or liking your profile.
Go slow and great things will follow,,,including some fantastic friendships made here.....
Good luck to all of you,,and OH YES!!! Love does and has HAPPEN from meeting someone on here,,many times over,,,wink...Have fun and respect others and this site will ROCK YOU!!!!!
