Elaine has been a constant support to everyone, EVERYONE on this board. She takes the slings and arrows and with grace and dignity says "you must be hurting how can I help?" She is a tough cookie with a heart of gold and anyone that says any different does not know Elaine and as far as I am concerned does not deserve to know her. I cannot believe that a "few" can make this into such a idiotic contest. There are a variety of people at CH.com and the beauty of it is that we DON'T have to love eachother, we don't even have to LIKE eachother. We are each different and each with our own personalities that will rub someone here the wrong way. SO WHAT!?!?!? Don't like someone, then don't respond to their posts and don't have personal contact; BUT DO NOT DICTATE TO THE REST OF US WHOM WE SHOULD LIKE OR NOT LIKE and never assume you have the right to say who should not be here cuz then the answer is easy, YOU.
We love you Elaine, I printed off many of your letters two years ago when I first found this board and read them to Greg, you were a great comfort to him and me as well. Don't you even think of leaving. You have conquered may mountains don't let these little moles knock you down now.
With love and respect
DBAGO (deep breath and go on!)
Monique, for Greg and the kids!
