Thank You for this BillyJack. I haven't been posting much due to some trying times that have been demanding my attention, but after reading Monk's letter, I knew I wanted to comment here today. When I read Monk's letter today, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He is correct. He can't say "hi" without getting 100 post to him asking for info. I can't imagine getting hundreds of messages a day from folks wanting information and most probably wanting info that he can't answer. I personally try to go around Monk when I have a question because I know there are hundreds in front of me and I would really like to see the man get a break. Monk has a huge heart for helping others, but he is also just one person. There are others that have stepped up to help. Ex, BillyJack, Craig, LoneGrey, Connie, Sidney, sideshow, NMC, JGP83 and others that escape me right now. I know, because I have bent these folks ear on more than my fair share of occasions. I realize that some of the new folks that come on board want the leader's ear and almost rightly so. But for the folks that have been here, you know there are others that can help you and if they can't, they know where to go so they can. I'm not saying to let Monk feel like a loner, but try another route before you go to him.
Maybe we could stickie a list of names of folks that are willing to help others. Maybe a "Try Here First" list or put it in the IBOX. I don't know of an iron clad solution for this, but we need to start somewhere so our that our Friend can breathe.
