Grace,
I have an idea to spread your posts around the internet. I'm going to do my hour of walking exercise now but later I will link to your post a packaged link that you can provide a few different labels for and then post them in replies on Disqus. That way, more people can hear your voice. That will bring people here who want to comment on your views and you can have a sort of multifaceted blog right here with the rest of us. This is one time when we need more "cooks" to keep the "soup" from spoiling.
I will explain the difference between forum code links and Disqus HTML if you are not versed in them. Every bit of truth we can get out there helps.
