Well Cecelia I read your post but didn't respond because I am not going to the Barn. I have always been confused by this "member" thing since usenet doesn't really work that way.

I haven't got a clue as to the posts your referring to, since I haven't checked the ng since Friday, but I do hope you don't feel too slighted by anyone. I'm hoping to get the chance to meet you and carpool to the Barn in May. I just haven't talked in depth w/ you about it because it's still seven months away. I do like the game you've come up w/ also. I've been trying to think up some things that would be fun for us to do too. I'll post some of my ideas later in a seperate thread though. Take care and stick around!

Cecelia -
I am sorry to hear that you feel frustrated/unwanted. I know it can be tough getting into a new group of people.
For some of us, it's really hard to see all the posts, because of our various methods we check by. For instance, I go through google, and so things can get bumped off the front page within a short period of time, and I don't always have time to go read them all. And, I can't get to the Barn this year, so I don't often look at posts with that as the topic.
However - I saw your idea - and IF I were able to go, I think it's a really neat one!
I've also had posts that received no/little response - the trick is to keep it in sight by adding to it or reposting it, so people will see it. :)
Anyway - I hope you have learned by now that we all want you around!
