Excellent post, Mike and Cindy. I agree totally. I have been a member for a while but was never a very active poster. I posted pics here and there. I read a ton though and did a GE, submitted a photo for the first Calendar (Mayzie is on Oct)

etc. etc. etc. I never felt well known, but I felt that I knew others. If that makes sense. That's because I didn't post much but read alot. Then life kind of got in my way and I fell away from the board. I would check in every once in a while when I got the "We miss you YT message".
I recently checked in to find the next meet up in VA and I am soooo going! I am also on the verge of making 500 posts! Wahooooo (it only took me FOREVER!) I even have a few friends on my friends list. I recently learned how to post pixs from a mac so I suspect you all will be seeing more of my babies in the future.
To the OP: This was a very long winded way of saying, I understand what you are saying because I have felt that way too at times. Sometimes in the past I felt like yelling "Yoohooo, I'm here too" and then I realized, you all didn't know me as well as I knew you.
I'm done now.
