I heard from an elf that there's the nice list, the naughty list, and a very short list labeled "chunkyfrog".

I stop by every now and then and this caught my eye. This certainly is an interesting forum. There is a visible transformation where one evolves from, I was just told I have sleep apnea and I'm going to die; to becoming the world's foremost authority on the subject.

That said, for the most part, those that have been around here for a while and consistently contributing (I am not in that category) genuinely do want to see a newbie succeed, (or push them over the edge... lol). This has been one of the best places to go to get help and far surpasses many doctors and nearly all DME's. I know I am indebted to those that helped me along the way.

The only negative is that there seems to be more in-fighting (posturing) over the past few years.
