I just found this today by searching google for "B12" "rose" and "braintalk". I saw the braintalk2 and did some investigation and voila! Here I am. I only hope that the others who were on the old forum will be so lucky.

I can only assume that John Lester is working very very hard. But I wish he could at least put an updated information message at http://www.braintalk.org/index.html Would go a long way for those of us who are just getting a blank screen and wonder if we should keep trying to access.

I do web stuff and it should only take him half a minute to put a text message up. I wonder if there is more to this problem than meets the eye. I am SOOOO thankful to docJohn for putting up this temporary forum (if that is what it is). Helps relieve a lot of lonely feelings I was getting when I just saw the blank screen.

I'm mainly a lurker but for anyone who isn't aware, just reading what others post, good news as well as bad, goes a long long way toward helping to keep despair "at bay". Being "abandoned" by a forum that you regularly visit can "do a number" on you. I never realized. Thanks to everyone who posts.

And thanks to John Lester who must really be struggling since I know administering this forum isn't his "day job". Keep at it and we are waiting for you, John. Just needed this temporary forum to keep us from going totally crazy.
