Orchid...that was said tongue in cheek...sorry.

As far as taking sides, it would happen. It already has TWICE when we've tried to have the politics in here. If it didn't happen in the open forums, it would happen via private messages.

I still didn't see any different topics that you feel would or could bring the diversity that you crave to the forums.

What does "diverse in terms of participants" mean to you? Backgrounds? Nationalities? Work?

Yes, this form is for boomer women, but I will say that we've never kept other women out of here (unless there was a problem), and we've always welcome the younger set (or anyone else) when they've arrived and stayed to chat. They never stay that long though as they admit up front we don't share the same interest, in a lot of cases.

I get tickled when I read your other responses because you have no idea what all Dotsie does to promote this forum...where all she goes with info about it. How do you know that a market survey hasn't already been done?
