Suemarie - I am not sure what the replies have upset you so much. There are reasons that it is the way that it is, and I think that those needed to be explained to you since you obviously were not part of the discussion years ago. No one intended for any of this to be rude, or disrespectful of your input, but only to tell you how we had come to the conclusion that this was the best format for us to do things, especially knowing that people had access to each other through this format, when you look at someone's profile and then you could arrange other meeting mechanisms if you were so inclined. ( emails, meeting in other online IM formats etc. all of which you can list in your profile so people can find you - it's part of the board's system) But if you think I was rude to you or something you have my apologies..... I took the time to explain it so that people would understand. Would people prefer that I just said we are not going to do that, and left it at that?
