[Nfbf-l] sorry

[Mark]

On one of the other lists which I am on, it was stated in response to someone else's concerns about getting too many emails that this list can get chatty with things subjects that didn't need to be there, such as colonoscopies.  I purposely did not go into the lurid details about this when I discussed it the other day.  I was discussing why I might not email much for a short period of time and looking for support since this is a procedure I was not familiar with before experiencing it, a first time procedure for me.  Apparently someone on this other list took offense and didn't bother to come to me directly.  If I have offended anyone in this group than I do apologize, because it certainly wasn't meant that way.  I hope I don't sound too sensitive, but I was rather hurt by that comment, and I kind of feel as though maybe I'm not as welcome as I thought I was. Are we really there for each other or do we just say that because it sounds good?  It appears that in other circumstances where people have had medical procedures, we were quick to be supportive.  So I'm just a bit confused and hurt.  That's all.
