an IMHO post

Posted by lucie lu on September 9, 2008, at 22:54:47

Id like to raise a general issue. Its not aimed at anyone in particular, and Im not perfect either its just MHO. Its about acknowledging replies to posts, which most people do, but I think we could maybe do just a little better. Most posters have concerns, a problem they are wrestling with, are feeling bad or discouraged, want feedback, need comfort or whatever. And hope someone will reply to their post. Replying, especially to someone who needs help or support, takes thought, good will, the desire to connect, and time to write what you hope will be a useful reply. (Actually, many replies take considerably longer than a few minutes to write, I suspect, and some are breath-takingly beautiful.) Most people already do, but it doesnt take long to acknowledge replies and posters by name, and I think we should all try extra hard to make the effort. Remember, most of us here feel vulnerable much of the time, so if anything we should be extra sensitive to each other and responsive to whatever help other people extend to us.

Sorry for the soap box. Babble is such a special place. This is just IMHO.

Best,
Lucie
