A while back, WilburTheCat asked me if I thought that we might be
"hogging this forum"................I took a little visual inventory today and find that yes, I in particular seem to chime in daily. My hope is that whatever
few words of encouragement I might offer will somehow help someone feel less alone, feel less afraid and maybe feel a bit more hopeful.

That being said, I want to back of for a little while and ask that some of our other members on this forum jump in and add what you can. I find such strength and assurance in this site and do hope that I don't ever come across as thinking that I know more than I do. I love you guys!!!!!!
Hugs and prayers..................CarolLentz

" Carol, I beg to disagree with anyone who may see ANYONE as 'hogging the forum.' Au contraire...this cirrhosis board could use a lot more traffic IMHO! And your contributions are greatly appreciated - "

" Wilbur, Carol, pug, Marilyn, and kacc, when I found this site after my husband's diagnosis 2 years ago , an awful weight was lifted from my shoulders replaced by hope BECAUSE OF frequent contributors like yourselves. "Hogging the site"?...Hogwash!

Wilbur and others, those of us who visit here know that your generous and knowledgeable hearts are what move your fingers on the keyboard...not some narcissistic desire to see your names in print.

WRITE ON! "

" Carol, please, please don't stop posting, your encouragement and information has meant so much to me! Don't assume that just because you post less that others will post more. I don't think it works that way. I totally agree with kacc, we need each other. "

" Oh, I will surely not stop adding my heartfelt support for all of my "family" on this site. Just want to make sure everyone gets a fair shake at taking part. WilburTheCat and Pugdaddy and actually, all the rest as well, are a very special part of my life now and I couldn't ever just give it up and walk away...........Just want to pare down the postings on my part and do a bit more "listening" than "talking"..........
Hugs and prayers to all..............CarolLentz "
