A Vent
Yep I'm steamed...
4 times in the last week people have taken me to task for not replying to PMs, or not sending PMs.
I only have one pair of hands folks...and frankly they're pretty busy.
Same goes for the other mods and admins and greeters too.
There's hundreds of posts a day, lots of things behind the scenes to sort out, and problems to fix.
All of us Forum Staff have lives outside SR as well.
I try to answer as many PMs as I can, but I can easily get 30, 40 or more a day - no exaggeration.
Just please try and be patient and understanding, guys

I personally don't know how you manage it all. I was just thinking today that it seems no matter the time of day, you are on responding!!
I, as one member of the SR community (among many others) appreciate your tireless efforts!
Thanks Dee, Anna and other mods I am forgetting!

I would like to say thank you for all you do.
I think all the folks who have a hand in keeping SR the great place it is are doing a wonderful job.
I know it's not said nearly enough but you are appreciated!!

Dee -- I was shocked when I found out members actually were able to PM moderators, and even more shocked that you respond! Now that I know, I try not to abuse the privilege -- but you know, you're a hard one to resist 
Seriously, your work with this community goes far above and beyond, and that's true for all the moderators and admins. Thanks!

Thanks guys
Just to clarify: I'm not asking people to stop PMing me...
just maybe a little more in the way of understanding and reasonable expectations from some quarters

You put your heart and soul into every post and PM Dee. You can feel the understanding and concern behind all of your words.
Those sort of responses take thought and time.
I don't know how you do it mate. I really don't.
You da BOMB and I'm downright grateful for you.

Ah geez, thats just craziness. I never even thought to PM one of you. I always assumed that you were ridiculously busy; I see how many threads you respond to daily! Good lord, do you ever sleep or eat?
Looks like you need to have arm transplantation surgery, that is the only solution, lol. Or learn to type with your toes...
Thanks for your amazing patience and sound advice here Dee. You have mastered effective therapeutic communication. And your pic is wicked creepy again, I like.

Whoa, Dude! It never even crossed my mind to PM you, I just assumed that it wasn't cool given that you are so present and so giving and so over-the-top wise on the threads. Thanks for being, Dee, you've helped me more than you'll prob ever know.

LOL ! TRUE STORY ... last month , I just needed to write some things , and I thought , I'll ask Dee !?! ( I mean , who else ? )
They ran me out of the coffee shop at closing , and 4 more pages later , I thought :
"naw ;....I can't abuse anyone like that , esp. Dee
...better email this to my own self.
He got his hands full !"
Been meaning to thank you for being there for me, though .
....I'm not kiddin'
and I know u know it
