Thank you for your words, but also thank you to your friend!

Very few are perhaps aware of how many people are in your situation - unable to find these boards unless someone tells them directly or posts the url somewhere for them to see.

When we are here ourselves it is easy to just assume anyone else can who formerly posted at TMF can be here also, if they want to. But many don't know Shrewdm.com even exists.

Unlike the TMF boards which were heavily promoted constantly, there is no promotion of Shrewdw.com other than by the readers/authors themselves sending urls to friends.

To solve this:
1. When everyone has a moment, search your emails without date range using "Fool Boards Reply".
2. Add to this, friends physically around you who also used TMF, but you can't see here.
3. Send a url of Shrewd.com to them IF you cannot see them here. It is possible that without you, some of these people using the former TMF boards (but without any interest to visit discussion.fool having taken a brief look) would otherwise never find the community again.

To others reading: howief1956 is now here only because someone applied either 1 or 2 above, and for some people the discovery is very important for them.
