...a change for the better.

I like the new tone on the Alzheimer's message boards. It's much more civil than it used to be. Maybe because the folks at the Alzheimer's Association who monitor the boards have more or less cleaned house. They don't allow derogatory remarks any more. Apparently, people who stir up trouble are suspended, or even banned. It's a requirement to be polite. To follow the rules of decorum. To be helpful and reasonably positive. More and more, I like what I'm seeing and reading there. I'm not reluctant or afraid to post any more. Because I've been well-received. Treated kindly. And with respect. Another indication that -- given time -- things often change for the better. --Jim Broede
