Not to get into it with Nancy (I don't know her nor have I dealt with her
at all), but I did find her post really rude and not called for at all.
If you had just pointed out that you believe Sukie is freaking out, that
is all that was needed.  The rest accomplished nothing.  Any VALID ADV-F
information is needed regardless of how it is presented.
 
We are all in this together and need people to become more involved in
these discussions and ask questions, not bash each other.
 
My two cents.

looks like many people did.  Guess that's the New Yorker in me!  BIG]
