As I said, definitely not forcing anyone. It's a personal choice if you choose to contribute to the thread or not. Even if it's just attempting to help another member. If my humorous comment struck a chord with anyone, than that says something. And you guys did admit that yes, you do have some things going on head-wise. That's very cool of you. No one's forcing you to pour your hearts out. But hopefully you can get something beneficial out of reading others' posts.
And a blog is much more public than anonymous posting btw. Just something to think about.
