why dont the special needs threads go in the active conversations lists?

[lottiejenkins]

Are we in SN slightly inferior? Have been checking and the SN responses def dont go in that list..................

I like to think that it's the opposite Lottie - that we have our own place that the lurkers, and those that only post on popular or current threads, can't stick their noses into so readily.

I still think it's a special place, a bit private, kind of like some other areas on mumsnet, like adoption or gay parents or miscarriage / bereavement, where most of us don't really have a place to "hang out".

I've started to realise that my view of parenting has changed now with DS2's difficulties - I just don't "get" a lot of what other parents are feeling, so maybe it's good that it's a bit harder for non-SN parents to come here.

JMHO, hope I don't start a new backlash....

people can opt in to having sn in active convos. this is so that they think before posting. that is all.

thanks for that!! will alter my settings!
