LOL! I'm obsessive?! Who researched into how much I posted during the
last 14 months?! Not even I know that!
But Emily, perhaps you could write a book about the insights, etc. you
received while posted out?
PS to Ann: deep bow to almost everyone past and present on FFL.
PS to Richard: sorry I dragged you into this. I thought Alex's comment
was pretty funny though you haven't said *so it's all about* in a long
time. I miss that. And I LOVE go figure! Go figure (-:
Now, it's all about Share. LoL!

Ha. Yes, you don't realize what you might achieve internally and
externally by posting out - and, you'll never know until you try.
It's an experiential thing - gotta do it to *know*. And, you could
*get* everything here that you identify you are *receiving* as you
could still view the posts. Come on, Share, give it a try. Just one
week....and you could come back and report on the experience of not
posting - how you had to confront your self-will, the obsessive
quality to your nature, or whatever comes up for you after 14 months
of posting every day, or almost every day. FFL will last a week
being deprived of your posts, important as they are to the mix.

Emily, it sounds like you equate posting out with spontaneity,
freedom, passion, creativity, not being stodgy, throwing caution to
the wind, and giving others the opportunity to miss one. Whew! I
haven't realized what I've been deprived of by not posting out. And
depriving others as well! Of course for Judy this time, it was simply
that she miscalculated her post amount. Go figure!
BTW, I've only been on FFL 14 months, not year after year!
As for blessing, FFL posters bless me way more than I could ever
repay. They make me laugh and keep me informed about current events.
They tell me about cool high tech stuff and share beautiful music.
They post great photos from all over the world and give me great info
about ayurveda and jyotish. They alert me to TV and movies and books
and food I might enjoy. They got me interested again in politics. They
write wonderfully. They make me think. They push my buttons. They make
me laugh.
As some here say, deep bow (-:

Awww...Barry....thanks for doing this...I mean...how *meaningful* is
this?! I'm not sure what posting on FFL has to do with
"enlightenment," but feel free to describe it for me/us. I can tell
you miss those who post out when they/we do, what with all the focus
and attention you bring to this topic again and again and again.
Control is overrated in my opinion - take Share who thinks in terms
of 7 a day - how important is it that she make sure the forum is
blessed with her presence, and that you make sure of the same, every
day all year long, year after year. I say, old chap, show us some
passion, throw caution to the wind every once in awhile, show us a
little spontaneity, post out just once - for the freedom, Barry (and
Share), the freedom. Don't be stodgy; get creative and run with it.
I will miss you and your predictability terribly; I will miss Share's
insights on just about everything. Come on, now, I dare you. Share,
see how far you can get past 50 (maybe even to 70 if you're fast)
before Alex shuts you down. Give FFL an opportunity to miss you. :) :)
