RE: TO ALL VISITORS TO THIS SITE
SS, you've made a really good point.
There are always visitors on this site. It's a pretty busy site, not just because BP, myself, and NR, have a direct attachment from our brains into the internet and are able to be online 24/7.......even in our sleep!!!
There is nothing wrong with being a visitor! We were all visitors at one time or another (except SD). But, the reason we joined the site, wasn't to be a part of a group (that's just lonely people that do that...haha, I'm kidding). It wasn't to be able to post online. The reason we all joined, was to learn. Yes, many of us have knowledge to share; which is how forums work. But we came online to learn from each other. To get different view points. Do get new perspectives. To learn things we didn't know. To work as a team (very different from being part of a group that are only online).
I've learned that the views I have, are going to be pretty useful for me, but the things I'd do, would be ludicrous for someone like BP or P1. I have huge flexibility, because it's only me and the wife, and she's healthier than me. BUT, I need to realise that not everyone in the group will be able to carry as much, or move as fast. At the same time, I'm by no means the most useful person in a team. Those people that are unable to carry as much, or move as fast, are frequently more important....one girl in our group is a nurse! Damn straight she's more use in our group than I am.
The whole reason for coming online is to ask questions, learn, grow, adapt, recognise things we didn't already realise, face different scenarios and challenges. We're online together, so that we can survive better.
p.s. that's not a knock on BP or P1. I'm just saying different people have different commitments, situations, and the alike.
Both are probably much better at surviving than I am.......but I'm catching them up.
