I do not think at all we are losing site of the purpose of this forum - a lot of
women are severely depressed on this board and I think the occasional joke isn't
harmful at all ... a lot of the stuff posted on this board is very very depressing
and if we can get a smile out of some of the postings I think that is great ...
sometimes humor, along with a higher power, is what gets us through our days ...
