As for myself, I am a very private individual where such matters are concerned. Starting a thread about an emotional subject in hopes that it would solicit responses just isn't in my nature. I understand that some may draw comfort from long distance emotional support, and I respect that...but that's not who I am. If my lack of participation in such threads upsets some, then I'm sorry for that, but I believe that said participation should be freely extended, not solicited or expected, in order for it to truly mean something. And when it comes to the subject matter at hand, I think everyone should respond in the manner in which they see fit, and are comfortable with.
