Certainly is alluring to find a community that understands what you are talking about, knows what you are going trough, experiences the same environment, and can say with real conviction, "Hang in there."

We who work this profession, do suffer from isolation and loneliness in the midst of the crowd. What a great refuge AR has proven to be.

I certainly think so.  Even when I say I am not going to spend time in the Rain today ... because I have other things I need to get done ... I still do.  Addictive ... yes.

I concur. Facebook is more lifestyle unless you are selling breathtaking Wall Street journal homes the public doesn't have much interest in open houses and new listings.

Peter Mohylsky I opened up another Facebook account the other day only to learn they locked out my account. They want me to verify my information with a photo ID, birth certificate, passport, etc. I've also blocked their emails they keep sending as spam. Good bye Facebook.
