Hi @arnrob -- I don't think you've been ostracized...don't think that happens to anyone unless they are posting advertising or spam which I've not seen you do. Usually if you don't receive a lot of Connect emails it means you are not following any or many discussions or groups. When I look at your profile I only see the Neuropathy group listed but can't tell how many discussions you are following. Here are some step by step instructions for following groups and discussions from the Get Started on Connect guide (link at the bottom of every Connect page in the bottom left column)
