I'm sorry to read that you don't enjoy this cyber community. As in anything, it's "different strokes for different folks", and the variety is interesting. When I first got involved here on The Hill, I clicked on about anything that was "clickable", and read the pages of many people. I visited those who were Featured Members and those who were celebrating their birthday. I poked my nose into many groups (unless it was available to members only), and began to meet people who had similar interests to mine. I'm much more a person of WORDS, than one who thrives on sparkling graphics, and I can be downright silly at times. I enjoy life and I can laugh at myself!

In my opinion, this site is much like having 'penpals' all over the world, exchanging ideas, laugh together (using words and graphics) and share your every day experiences. I have met amazing people who I now call my friends, even though I will never meet them face to face.

Don't give up ... participate, drop an unexpected note to someone who has an interesting page, and see what happens. Management has been pretty clear how they wish to have this site managed, and have volunteers to help them because they can't be "everywhere" and continue all their other projects alone. 

Now I'll climb down from my "soap box" and be on my way!
