I agree with the majority so far: I LIKE the chit-chat! (Yes, I stand guilty, too). Part of what makes this board so special is the way everyone supports each other - there are hundreds of sites if you're ONLY looking for information. People here are very knowledgeable, but are also REAL people with worries and concerns - I think that comes part and parcel with being a CAH parent! But I also think that "Anon" has a good point: perhaps communincations that are really not related to CAH at all could be taken to private e-mail or the chat room?? I also liked Janet's suggestion of making sure your post has a subject title that makes the content of the message very clear. Let's not get into a snuffle about this - we're all in it together, and life's too short!
