Hi Caro,
If you've read back up this thread you know of course what a sensitive subject NHE is.
While I myself "stepped in it," so to speak, we prefer, I think - deferring to the moderators on this point, that critical discussions of other methods, systems, and personalities in the horseworld invite the very kind of rancorous exchanges that take down other kinds of forums, horse related or not.
On the other hand, having people to share with over what are perceived problems you have experienced is a good thing.
Doubtless there are a few that would like to discuss this with you.
Your invitation will most likely be taken up. This brings me to a second point.
I've learned the hard way that posting an e-mail address, unless it is a throwaway, on a website attracts "bots," as in robotic harvesters (often referred to as "spiders") of e-mail addresses that are then peddled to various commercial as well as cracker interests (as in illegal hackers) that will go after the account and try to access your e-mail and you and your computer for not so good things.
The least of which is commercial, the worst of which is to turn your computer into a sort of zombie clone to produce more spam from to send out into the world.
Or to plant Trojans, worms, virii, and other nasties on your system through your email account.
We have in the AND forum, and this avoids the problem above, a PM button at the bottom of every post, right next to the Profile button.
You can have private conversations there. I presume the moderators or administrators could have access but my understanding is they simply do not look at private messages.
Highly trustworthy folks IMHO (in my humble opinion).
If you have concerns on the NHE issue you an trust the moderators to give you good advice on how to deal with it here. The welcome screen names them for you.
Though I see they haven't as yet added the profiles of the new moderators. These are the originals, the founders and administrator.
