To Those who have read, but have NOT posted

Hi everyone

I would imagine that many of you have come to this by a search engine looking for answers, yet don't quite feel up to posting.

As an experienced on-line blogger, I have never seen such a well-orchestrated, mature group of posters.

You may or may not agree, but the comments on this site are carefully screened BEFORE posting, not after, and it's evident that most of the comment written are not edited very much.

I'm sure that most of you are women, and just aren't sure, and I know that privacy concerns are an issue even on a public blog such as this.

If you don't want to post, that is understandable, but I would really encourage you to read carefully what everyone has to say on here.

If you want the easy answers, there's youtube, topix and Y! answers. I've posted on all three, but none of them even come close to the depth and breadth of discussion on here. You'll rarely find posts like "no, don't do it" or "yeah, sure go for it." because it's not that simple.

No one likes to be told what to do, especially with relationships. But how often have I seen and experienced disasters by simply not listening to others with an objective view. Some of us do have to learn the hard way, I guess.

Comments are screened and in some cases edited before posting. Reasoned disagreement is welcome but not comments that are scurrilous, off-topic, commercial, disparaging religions, or otherwise inappropriate.
