@sunnyflower Whew! Yes, this neuropathy group has been rockin' with new involvement, new members, plus a bit of chit chat, which causes flooded air ways. 😃 When we think of new members coming in to learn neuropathy facts, imagine how they feel?! It's tough to navigate and fact find. Because neuropathy, in my opinion, is one of the more popular and active groups, it is bound to be busy and full of wonderful people.
Yes, I think its awesome for you to explore bones, muscles, joints groups and more. Keep in mind that you are fact searching and as hard as it may be, you might not have the physical ability to connect with everyone you cross paths with. Remember you are in the specific group to learn and/or teach from your experience.
Private message is great for more personal connections and may be helpful for some topics. I have my notifications selected for each group that I choose to want to participate in and receive mail notifications of updates. If I wake in the morning to 30-40 new messages, depending on my day, I just may have to delete some or pick and choose. If I really need a break, I may choose to change my settings and not receive notifications for a bit. Yes, ignorance can be bliss sometimes. 😜
I know if something is meant for me specifically, it should be addressed to me using "@rwinney" or sent to my private message box. Now that you have realized this trick, it may be easier on you.
I hope this helps! I wish you, my kind hearted friend, much success with onward and upward Mayo Connect participation and progress. 🤗

Hi Rachel, how does one initiate a new post, on subject, in the correct group? That is when we obviously need to type in the Mayo name of the person we are directing the post to even though, the post would be valuable if read by others.
As mentioned somewhere today, in the many replies I've given, if we are just responding to someone's post to us most often in the form of a response or reply to a post we initiate it, we don't need to include their name in our reply, yes? And, since I am not including your Mayo name here because it is a direct response to you, this will reach you right?
Of the many emails I get and I welcome, I have not been involved in the discussion yet I'm getting emails members right back and forth to one another. That is what is confusing me because some say that unless we include the Mayo names of everyone at the top of a post or reply oh, that they will not see it. I must be misunderstanding.
Your thoughts? Fondly, Sunnyflower 🙃
