You know what? I think that when someone is new to an area, they may not know the right language to put their questions in. This mom, who isn't Greek or from Alabama, is trying to do the right thing.
It's like on adoption boards where some prospective adoptive parent comes on asking how to adopt and phrases an innocent question in the wrong way, like "How do birthmothers give up their babies?" and the experienced adoptive parents rush into the kill with "Arrrghh! You said "give up"! Nobody uses that term, you idiot, they relinquish them!" This goes on for a few posts and you never hear from the poor woman again, who is probably experiencing infertility anyway and the last thing she needs is an attack from strangers.
Unless a new poster truly gets ugly or demanding here, why would we want to attack them?
