{Ok, so where are folks supposed to post things like birth announcements, birthday greetings, moving notices, "I'll be offline due to health problems"} You should post these messages in the same forum that people have been posting them in for the past few years: the All-Purpose Forum... also known as the "Poser Forum". What does "my cat just died" or "Look out for the Sasser virus" have to do with Poser? Nothing, but people post these messages anyway in that Forum anyway.
