NO, don't assume that. The BB went through an upgrade and some of the info was 'restarted'/reset. So, don't assume who has been here longest. Only Jon Haworth knows when people began here..... Besides, it doesn't really matter , does it .

Au contraire..I think it would be an honor to be the earliest poster. I think Ricky should get some kind of yearly prize. Unless someone else can come forward to claim earlier status. I know for a fact that ricky came before me. We should each send her a box of chocolates..she might end up with 5000 boxes of chocolates. And she reserves the right to give up her status...and then the chocolate would go to me.

And there is still **** that doesn't relate to homeopathy...ironically on your post

Gee, thanks for making my day feel bright and wonderful.

There, there, Carol ~ just eat some chocolate. Don't have any? I'll send you some.
Feel better now?

Yes I have just checked my previous User name and I am 528!! The reason i changed to an alias wss 2 fold. Firstly I had my E mail address visible and used to get lots of mails requesting help which I did not have time to deal with and you all know my attitude about prescribing constitutionally for paper cases. I prefer to see the person. secondly there was someone posting who sent vile and abusive posts to me not only on the BB but also privately.
Many people do know my identity but I prefer it to be only the people I trust not to violate my privacy. Anuone can correspond with me via the Private message icon now which has not always been available.

OK so maybe I am a person who has been writing on this BB for a few years but this does not make me the most senior. To me that would be the person with the most experience as a practising homeopath andalong these lines i would nominate David Kempton who I hold much respect for. I also think Divina and Shirley R, Hans and Shashi are more senior than me using that criteria. I apologise if there are others more senior that I am not aware of.

More senior could mean more qualified. Now look at some of the qualifications of these Pakistani and Indian Homeopaths who write here. Is this more senior?

Ricky, RSHom, DPSE, Cert.Ed, MSc, MNWCH, MAAMT, Master Practioner in Meridian Therapies including EFT, TAT, BSFF - Sorry this is very tongue in cheek (but couldn't resist it)as I am sure I can think of other qualifications as well as well as articles and publications in academic media!!!!
