You never know when someone has chosen to check the "Notify me when a reply is posted" box at the bottom of the editing area, so I don't think the date should ever prevent someone from replying to a post.
thanks mtlieb I realize now where the dates are located on the posts
This sight is a Godsend.I didnt know anyone w/ this condition before joining.Im glad to be a part of the group thanks mike ob
You should consider going to the HCMA conference next year and meeting your fellow HCM'ers in person. I understand it is very informative and a lot of fun too.

Yeah Mike, Jim is gonna shake his booty for us all. You won't want to miss that so think about the conference.
Seriously Mike we have a lot of fun in "The Biggest Ole Club " you never expected to join.
We all come across differently and our humor is diverse. Because we all refer to raising dead horses a lot , ie old threads that come back to life over and over sometimes , yes from the previous year as well , it just seems kind of funny.
Of course Jim( MTLIEB),being he's the resident archaeologist, is able to dig these dilema's out real quick while the rest of us are napping on our shovels. We love him for it, truly.
So join us in a little levity from time to time to make life funny in spite of serious issues.
Best Wishes to you .
Pam
