Thanks for the shout out, Double J! I am trapped in Oak Ridge in Tennessee at mo, by myself in a semi-dark, locked business center in a small hotel, having bad IBS and generally feeling sorry for myself. Then drama on the boards!!  What did I miss?? I want in! (Bad Nelly.) 
It's good to have a community of diverse people with ONE thing that unites us, a debilitating, embarrassing, painful, shameful, lonely condition that separates us from "normals" and binds us together like a tribe of struggling, hopeful, scared sufferers against the world of doctors who "don't get it," co-workers and friends with eyes full of pity, and unbelieving family members... 
I get all you guys, the ones at the beginning, the ones at the end of their journey, and all of us in between. It seems I've been everyone!! 
Without each other, we're suffering ignorants, turned inward, full of desperation, pain and quivering hopeless rage. Well, OK, maybe just hurt people with questions.
I too hate the [insert group here]. Those bastards! But I have great affection for you.  I don't read some people's posts. I'm headstrong and easily rattled into a fight. Bad Nelly.
Thanks for airing this. You're one smart IBS-er and I'd hate to some day stop reading your posts because you're not there.
