Hi Alison,
I mean this in only the nicest way. But I can almost hear the collective tension rising from the forum...just because this was a recent topic of another post that was a source of much controversy. It was definitely a heated debate/discussion...over 8,000 hits...and several members felt like it was inappropriate to talk about Cathe's chest (when not in reference to strength training) on her very own forum.
Just wanted to let you know (in a friendly way) that this has been a recent (and offensive to many) discussion in the event you don't get much of a response...or a negative one. I'm sure it isn't your intention to offend but just wanted to give you the heads up. Look forward to seeing you around the forum!

I totally agree with everything you wrote!Jonezie, you are a great example of how to post with kindness and tact. You let Alison know that her question had been a recent hot topic here, yet you didn't do so with sarcasm or meanness.
I seriously doubt Alison meant any harm with her post, and you addressed her with respect.
Thanks for being here to provide a good example to everyone!

ETA: How strange... my avatar is gone and it says I have only 8 posts and joined in July 2008. Why did my stats all change?
And incidentally Jeanne Marie, I think you are two people---JeanneMarie and JeanneMarie56---that's why the difference in post count and join date?
Thanks! Yep, I figured it out! I had to log back in this morning because I deleted the internet history on my computer and just automatically put in JeanneMarie56. That was an ID I created when the board had upgraded a couple of years ago and I couldn't get back in under my original name. I need to delete the second one.
