[StBernard] Message Board

[Westley Annis]

 I never thought of Westley's service as a 'forum for people to speak their
mind'.  It has been a way for people to help each other in their time of
need - a place to ask questions, ask for help, share recovery ideas, keep
informed, without being inundated with rumors or pettiness.  With the amount
of emails coming from this site each day, I am grateful that Westley "culls"
the submissions.  If you need a forum to speak your mind, go to the nola.com
forums. Linda"

**Linda, wouldn't you say that we are speaking our minds at the moment?
Discussions and dialog is good for the board, providing civility rules the
day. NOLA has it's role and is very effective at what it does--whether it's
spreading good news or rumors. Granted, even here, the same outcome can
occur whether we wish it or not, don't you agree? This message board is
somewhere inbetween the parish website (whatever it be in the future) and
NOLA.COM. Anyone can create a website with message boards, but it's great
people that make its threads great.
