Rzip:
Thanks!
In question #3, where the question asked you about how you felt, and you answered with how you felt, I felt more of a connection with you. Like you were giving of yourself and about yourself, instead of talking about "people" or things outside of yourself.
I would like it if you did more of that!

So, (IMO) I do not think people realized that what goes on here can be put into a public arena (i.e. a publication). The reality of it of course, is that this is a public site and many millions of people checked into this site every day, worldwide.

So, in a sense, it is good that this is a public site. It is personal struggle for me (to let go of old habits and fears/anxieties). I kind of respond differently, depending how I am feeling.

> Contributor (Not a evaluator)...and I do not know how else to express this more clearly, I love being a participant on PB. I love it :-) It is such a joy to me to communicate back and forth. The problem is that I have an impulsive aspect to my personality, so things tend to get out of hand. I am learning when to pull back through. I just want to actually participate couple of times per week. But, I read the posts here couple of times per day :-)
