In reply to sharing email.....I feel another board coming on.. (nm), posted by shar on September 11, 2003, at 0:07:14
Perhaps sharing emails to talk privately about issues/experiences/embarassing questions might defeat the purpose of these boards?
The candid openness and anonyminity of the posts has been of such invaluable assistance for me, as i am sure for others, too, that it would be sad to lose it. And to be candid and honest, the reason i posed the question was because someone had posted that they had a couple questions about a risque subject, and i saw that people posted negative experiences and opinions without asking what the questions were. Wanting to help, but _also_ becoming aware that the subject was indeed a risque subject to broach, i wondered how i might offer my assistance to this person who clammed up and hasn't posted since.
But then again, had i been successful, it would have eliminated the opportunity for others to benefit from this risque question/answer information.
My personal choice, in the end, is to choose to support the invaluable generosity of these group
communications by 'toughing up' & not going private....just another 0.02 ~
