Initially, I started not to post since this thread was started long ago. But since it's been resurrected and there's probably someone new looking for info on the web everyday--lemme share some of my lessons with you.
Please do your OWN research. I know you've read this over and over again, but the members are saying this for a reason. I have done my own research and continue to learn something new or gain a new perspective everytime I open my binder of things that I have collected over the years. Besides, you'll get a great deal of satisfaction from uncovering things on your own.
Consider your questions before you ask. I know that I don't want to see the day come when Members refuse to conversate with sisterfriends about anything because the questions and comments have gotten out of hand. I have been fortunate enough to meet some wonderful people at various forums, including members of AKA.
With that said, ask yourself how much can a member in Texas help you if you live in New Jersey? Don't always take the World Wide web (www) literally. It only goes so far before we have to start meeting members in our own communities.
Be careful of what you say and who you confide in. This applies to everyone. Sad to say, but not everyone has the same agenda.
