Thank you, Bernard

Thank you Bernard.

Thank you for providing this site. It literally saved my life a time or two. The rest of the time it provided help, support, and a sense of community. Once in awhile I even feel love coming from the people on this site, which is amazing since we are in the ether-world.

Thank you for making it easy to use. On my first medication I could barely click a button. I had the IQ of a slug. I joined this forum because it was the only one I could figure out.

Thank you for making it uncluttered. I don't have to click on 10 ads to get to the posts, and while I'm reading, I don't have to dodge multiple images floating across the screen advertising Viagra.

Thank you for not sending me junk mail like other forums, including junk mail that are cleverly disguised as those little "e-newsletters" brimming with info that are really ads. And thank you for keeping our private information private.

Thank you for creating a culture of fact vs. fiction. People share real information about our complex disease, and usually provide both personal experience, what their doc said, and links to scholarly research to back it up. I swear the people in here know more about Epilepsy and treatments than most doctors do.

Thank you for creating a culture of caring and safety. No flaming here. Only helping and healing. It makes it possible to share what we're really feeling without fearing what people will do with the information.

Thank you for a place where people can bring Taboo/hidden topics out in the light of day. Like Epilepsy and mental illness, disagreeable side effects like flatuance, and how we really feel about losing our hair.

Just thank you, Bernard. Thank you.

Endless, thanks for thanking Bernard! Sometimes I forget how rare and special CWE is.

Im with everyone else, Thank you so much for creating CWE.
Ive been dealing with seizures all my life and Ive never came across a site on the internet that has been so helpful, and has people that can see where Im coming from.

I told my mom about CWE and she said she was glad I found the site, and said its nice to know there are others out there who can be supportive of people with Epilepsy.

Aw... Thanks for the kind words. It's really gratifying to see that CWE has been become a helpful resource for people. Of course, while I did put a lot of effort into building this place, it wouldn't be what it is without the contributions of the community.

I couldn't have said it better.

Kudos to you, Mr. B.
