One thing I find curious is that nasty/attacking/confrontational posts get lots of responses. But when I try to say something nice, and bring people together, no one ever notices. Is nice boring? Either nice is boring, or it's just me
Well said hayden!! No, it is not you! That, plus the time if the day or night, seem to affect what gets posted and to whom. I have to laugh-- when a bunch of cc'ers got together for lunch in NY, we discussed this very issue.. along with the fact that each of us has felt like a thread-killer, and that we have each felt that we have oft-times made a point that gets totally ignored.. only to have someone else make the very same point several posts later, and then they get all sorts of accolades!! So join the club!! It happens to all of us. Oh, and by the way- I totally agree that things are different now, and soldiers are treated differently now than in the Vietnam war era--- I said it several posts before yours (post #28)


***edit**** By the way, thank you for your kind comments!!
