This is getting ridiculous.
Maybe everyone who posts should have to use their name and email,
because I'm sick of people signing in as anonymous just so they can be
nasty in their message.
I'm not TTC, but I know a lot of us are. I don't think people
discussing miscarriages, infertility, etc. takes anything away from the
board. I may be there myself one day. I agree that the topic has been
extra hot lately, but hey, the tone of the board has changed. Hopefully
subjects will shift again into new threads.
As for people's questions being trampled, I try to answer when I can,
and the other thing is that the board has a lot of messages. Can't read
them all - we have lives.
Anyway, for the anonymous poster, don't hide behind "Anonymous" just to
be nasty. If you had simply phrased your posting a little nicer,
something along the lines of , "hey, I know a lot of you are ttc and
concerned about fertility, but could we give equal time to other PCOS
issues" then you wouldn't have needed to sign as anonymous.
