LG, I did the same thing--lurked for a long time, reading, learning and in total awe of the brilliant minds at work here on WS. My first post was for Haleigh Cummings, and I finally took that plunge because I was just so angry that another little Florida girl was gone and the people that were supposed to care the most, to protect her at all costs, had failed her so miserably and then had the gall to whine about how they were being scrutinized.
Someone posted here earlier that something is wrong with the Universe. I have to agree. And it cannot continue like this. Things have gone radically wrong that have to eventually be righted. Somehow.
