The Queen of Spam

Yesterday, my friends on our diabetesforum opened a topic for me. They call me the Queen of Spam, since I have written 20.000 posts in nearly 3 years. To me it's not really an effort, because the forum is very dear to me. It is important to get to know other people with D. We learn from one another and we try to help out wherever we can. I have met quite some forum members by now and with some I have a more intense contact. Distance is not a problem (trust me, Belgium isn't that large): we meet every now and then. Even with the members from Holland.

Sometimes I wonder how many more topics I can start on diabetes. But you know what? It's not been a problem yet. I frequent other websites as well and I read online articles on diabetes. I listen to peers with D and to my medical team. So there's always plenty of information. It would be selfish to keep all of that information to myself. Not all members have that much time, so it's good to have one place where they can check it all and stay up to date.

I plan on posting many more topics. What if one day diabetes will be cured? Would that mean we would no longer have our favorite diabetesforum?
