I'm curious

What was your motivation for joining this group ?

I feel as though I'm alone on a desert island.  I post, but there's no interactive response.  (Correction, only once has there been an interactive response and I really appreciated that ) 

Chatting is great, but we all need support between chats as well.  I'd like to get to know you all better.  I'd like to share your successes and challenges.    How about it, can we get some sharing going here?
