Gracie, I always appreciate that you take time to explain your thoughts, even though you are a bit "enthusiastic" at times. I know it is sincere. btw, the person who sent me a personal message about Jonestown, was not a girl. He is someone who I've become friends with on here. So if you know a girl, there are at least two people on here who were personally touched by that tragedy.

I have heard that "drinking the kool-aid" is older than Jonestown. I thought so too, but I have tried to find an earlier reference and haven't been able to do so, if someone has I'd like to see it.

MGM, you stated things very well. I appreciate your thoughts. I'm truly not sure if the people who snap at newbies really mean to be rude or what. As I said earlier it truly puzzles me. As Gracie said people are coming in droves. Maybe those grumpy folks are just trying to slow down the growth.
