I think what eye means was that there would be a question or issue brought up, and then we would be treated to many (I think it was more like 3-4) different opinions from the forum.
Anyway, I too have noticed the difference... and I keep up with (almost) every chizuk email (y'know that , Guard! ).

But hey, what do you expect... if you are not 'in' it, and just come around the forum searching for material, the difference will show up!

In all, it is really the same thing as the other issue (being on the forum)... if it is only temporary, and you really really feel its is for the long term benefit, then us addicts will exercise delay of instant gratification for long term success.... we really don't have much choice... do we    ?

WE LOVE REBBI (THE TANA) GUARD. IF REBBI ELIEZAR BEN DOIDOYAH BECAME A TANA FOR TEACHING US THAT WE CAN DO TESHUVA NO MATTER HOW LOW WE FALL, THINK ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE REBBI GUARD HAS TAUGHT, HELPED AND EVEN DRAGGED BACK FROM THE BRINK AND BEYOND!!!!! HE MUST CERTAINLY BE ON LEVEL SIMILAR TO A TANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


MAY I BE IN HIS PORTION IN THE WORLD TO COME!!!

here is my tzvei un a halb cents   why i used to be active and "unfortunately" am hardly able to post or participate  anymore.......(though i try and read all of the holy chizuk emails )

used to be on the forum much more during those dark days when I needed it most, and I'm absolutely convinced, that the mere  fact that I"m a member here of this holy group, is itself a most powerful "segula" in maintaining holiness and purity!!!!

My house thank G-d is internet free and I cut off the internet access on my Blackberry, which leaves me access to the internet only in my office which is not conducive to posting.

Additionally had some major upheavals in my company and my workload doubled or tripled

the main thing is........ post or no post ....... my heart and neshama and my prayers  is  here with each and everyone of u holy warriors ......

Let's stop talking so much, we should all kick ourselves in the ... And get working, each member should realize in which section he likes to help out fellow stragglers, I for one like to check the "introduce yourself" section & try to greet everyone and follow up, some of u might like the break free or the WOH , or the talmidi chachmim here should hang in the beis hamedrash, we can't rely on other members and think the old members will post, we all gota work, me too should buckle up and help, chesed is what keeps us alive in this gulas, & there is a very big zchus to help a yid get closer to hashem
Looking forward for a blast of posts starting this coming sunday
Gut shabbos all u GYE'ers

I'm curious what you mean. I don't recall doing this. Perhaps you can find an example in the old chizuk e-mails and show me? I honestly would love to be accomidating, and if there's a certain style of e-mails that the oilam likes, I can try and get Eye to do it for us    ;D


I guess, here is the difference I'm trying to get at:

For me, I think the chizzuk E-mails used to feel EMOTIONAL.  The nitty gritty of someone's struggle, and how he was feeling about things.

Lately, I think they seem more INFORMATIONAL.  Someone's insight, or vort, or handy dandy tip.

I don't feel they have that same emotional pull as they used to.

Does that make sense?
