Some of you will already be aware, others will not, that I have been invited to be(and have accepted)a co-administrator on The Best Years Of Our Lives message board.
I am personally delighted to have the opportunity to play a more active role within the Neil Diamond fan community and to foster better relationships amongst the boards. I was surprised to find that there are over 15 Neil Diamond boards on the world wide web, some of them very active like IAIS, BYOOL and The BOAT, others not so active, tihs being possibly due to poor advertising and therefore lack of awareness by many in the community.
One thing is for sure, as Neil Diamond fans, we are blessed and spoiled for choice. Me? I post on all of them, some on a regular basis, others from time to time,(Even using translation packages to post on the German board)!!
I have made many friends outside the 3 main boards and have been surprised and delighted by the response I have been given by other ND fans worldwide, not just to my posts but to my website too. (Although one recent visitor left me a note in my Guestbook to tell me I sounded like Bruce Springstein on some numbers, lol)
I really do hope that we can all look to the future with some brightness and solidarity and that the rifts, so evident in the community from time to time can be healed once and for all.
