Hi Michael and everyone,

I CO-own some groups here on Yahoo and as a CO-owner I am also a
moderator the reason why I am telling you this is because that is a
good idea in theory, but sadly in reality many of these people just
ignore the rules. I agree that it is "crapola" when people post
messages about dating. I am certainly not against dating, but I am
just trying to say that there is a place for such information and
personally I don't think this group is that place. Before I became a
member I remember having to tell a little about myself. I wish that
there was a good way that works to block spammers who join just so
they can spread their Spam. If anyone knows of a way I am sure that
we would all appreciate it. I have to say that the groups that I.
CO-own here on Yahoo and the AOL that I don't see that much Spam. I
think the reason why these spanners seem to target this support
group is because the members are men. I don't think that there are
many women who are members, but I could be mistaken. I joined this
support group because of my sincere interest in helping people who
are struggling with eating disorders and that the majority of the
support groups for eating disorders are primarily for females and
not males. I think that is a real shame. Now, my support group at
AOL Groups is for both sexes, people who are struggling with eating
disorders, people who are in recovery or even cured, family members,
friends, medical professionals, etc. If you or others are interested
in my support group, please feel free to let me know. Anyway, I
wish you and everyone well and if you ever need to chat I am here.
I even have a toll free telephone number that members can call if
they are having a bad day/night. The groups that I CO-own and have
founded are for the following: eating disorders, Endometriosis,
Chronic Pain, Travel Nurses/Nuring, Children's Rights, Child
Abuse/Negect, Domestic Abuse (both sexes), Learning Disabilities,
Spinal Conditions, i.e., Syringomyelia with or without Chiari,
etc. I am very proactive and everything I do is on a volunteer
basis. Of course, it would be nice if I could get paid for the work
that I do, but I have found the majority of the people who ask for
my advice, advise, etc., can't afford to pay. I really care about
the people who I have helped and continue to help. There is also a
nurse consultant with all of the groups. Well, I think that I have
said enough about me. I thank you and I wish you and everyone well.
Take care.

Best wishes,

Erika
