Understood.  :)  I do get it to some extent.  I just haven't been able to
reconcile that "need to be completely independent" script with "being
dependent is ok too" or something like that.  Maybe I'm the one not making
any sense.

LOL  That's a bit of the problem with groups.  The people who are running
the show need to be decent teachers.  It's a shame it didn't go well for
you.  The more I hear about it, the more it sounds like it was a couple of
people who didn't have a clue decided they were going to start something
online because they couldn't find or start a face to face group of their
own.  I suppose I could be wrong.  :P
