Signing off...

Thank you for your support while I lost the weight. Almost all of you were
very encouraging, and I had a lot of fun corresponding with you. What is
not fun is having to explain myself to those few who feel a need to question
my health choices and intimate dire consequences for not following their
particular advice.

It is getting harder and harder to weed out the know-it-alls, especially
those who make the effort to avoid being weeded. The solution for me is to
leave this group.

You can play amongst yourselves with any replies to this message, I'll not
be checking back.

I for one am very sorry to see Dewolla leave the group. She's been a very
successful member and I've learned a lot from her and her journey to better
health through diet and exercise.

Just of the off-chance you *do* check back ... you have an awful lot to
offer. I enjoyed your posts, your progress and your personal growth. Good
luck.

That is my biggest problem with *any* support usenet group. There are
more than a few that will tell you exactly who you are doomed to
failure unless you stop what you are doing, ignore everyone else who
is telling you the exact same thing, and follow their advice and their
advice alone.

I am sorry to see her leave, as well, even though she is very likely
to come back.


That's the exact kind of nastiness that most people would like to avoid. It
wasn't necessary.

And this is EXACTLY why many of us do not spend time here....the nastiness
from one poster outweights a lot of what used to be cool in asd. It's really
sad.

Agreed. Dewolla will be missed and the nastiness really should stop.
Unfortunately, I'm not very hopeful that it will. :-/
