I'm sorry you had to endure the crap you had to last night, Chula, and it's a shame that a lot of people here are sharks, as Exo puts it, but it is what it is. I'm accepting the fact that in some ways, this forum is like a nursery school. But there a few mature people here (and I don't mean just by age ). Actually one of the most mature people here was Pet Sounds and I think he's only seventeen. Anyhow, I'm glad for you and your daughter. Maybe the ultrasound wasn't such a great idea, but so what? If people can't show enough maturity to handle it, let them suffer the consequences. It's probably best just to ignore the catcalls and move on. Hang in there.

Rookie? You were like 50. If you need an internet forum to teach you about boundaries after half a century then that's less "stupid" and more "worrying". What if I did that to my mother? Would that be "stupid"?

Most of us enjoy learning some details about each other's real life, but I think it's important to be discreet. For example, a line or two, dropped off-topic into a thread, will probably be picked up by those who are interested, but forgotten before long by MB in general. I certainly wouldn't recommend pics of family members or threads dedicated to same.

^ That's a nice metaphor, Chula! I consider MB a friendly place, but in terms of personal info, I treat it like a biker bar in Tijuana: once out of my wallet that family photo can be passed around, out of my control, so I wouldn't put myself in that position of vulnerability.

Anyway, I hope you pick up on some of the well-intentioned advice in this thread, Chula, and if you have any doubts when posting something, you might like to consider this:-

Think of the scariest, weirdest member of MB who has ever been banned: that person, and a million like them could be just one click away from lurking over your next post, so think before you Submit Reply.

^ Someone who has earned long-term respect for their musical knowledge and their dignified restraint. FTFY, Neapolitan.
