A little message

Hi guys

Just to say that I really admire you all for the love and support that you offer each other.

Please keep up the good work.

Having seen some of the almost instantaneous support offered to new people who are really really struggling to see how to keep going, the idea of the site being down worries me.

Contrary to what some people suggest it seems to me that BR/IVA/DMP or even juggling the cards are all equally valid, depending on the persons' specific circumstances and views. Maybe A would do something different from B, fine. I do not think any of us can or should make that decision for another nor do we have the right to even hold an opinion on another person's decision.

Please look after yourselves :grouphug: . After the really horrid time that some people had last weekend, based on you comments early in the week, maybe just let the venters go. Their opinion is not worth getting RSA over.

    It's not down for a week! It's back in the morning.

    Re-read the sticky.

    Your sentiments are spot on though :)

    Sorry have just edited it. Do not want to cause unnecessary angst anywhere.

    The rest of it stands.
