> Dear Alicefranklin,
I think it is both good and bad that things get sidetracked.
Good: This is a service founded upon the principal where everyone support one another with the best intentions. In that light, it is good to both give and receive. I think the therapeutic effect on this board is derived strictly from the act of sharing. Fundamentally, I think that is what attracts me to this site, and what picked me up from the doom that I was in a couple days ago.
Bad: For the internal me, it is bad because I selfishly want everyone and everything to be focused around me.
P.S. I know that I promised some of you guys on the board that I would only let ME come out. But, when I stepped back and re-read my posts, I think I am writing with a bit of the therapist state of mind (NOTE: I AM NOT A THERAPIST!). But those of you who read my very first thread under the name "Pritzker" knows what I am talking about. I noticed that for a while there I was signing off with "Yours truly", which is a copy of some other professional's signature.
It is kind of hard to differentiate the real ME from all the others. I do not think I have distinctly different personalities. I do however think I have split-personality (Personality: uno).

Dear Rzip,
> I don't think anybody thinks you've taken up too much of the board's time and energy. What seems to have happened, in my opinion, is that your issues got side-tracked, and the discussion turned out to be mostly about some other guy's feelings. Maybe we'll do better in the future.
