Thanks, you know this forum is what motivated me to do this here at a local level.  I will be sharing this discussion forum and how informative and kind all of us are here so there will most likely be more people who sign up to this forum.

What an excellent thing to do, Mike, I wish you all the best of luck with getting your new support group going!  Nice work!   

For all of your information: I'm organizing a support group in my community so I've added a homepage to my profile which is                                http://www.meetup.com/Bakersfield-Chronic-Hepatitis-C-Survivors-Meetup/

I will be sharing this wonderful web forum with people who join.
