I thought it was just me....but I guess not. I had the feeling that all the boards were run by a "certain group"...affectionately known to each other as "spineys"...I have not been banned but I haven't posted much either. I couldn't figure out why there were so many names with "banned" under them. I went back to the earlier postings on this thread and I couldn't believe that I'm not that far off base with HB. After I made the mistake of joining in on one of their conversations, someone posted to me asking me not to "step on HER thread" and that I should start my own. I had to look over my shoulder to see if anyone saw my embarrassment. Well, I guess SHE showed me who was running that thread. My hubby found me this site and he's gonna get a sloppy wet kiss for helping me !
