I started a topic about how eHA was making me feel like I should give up...being a bit overweight and having physical disabilities, and reading threads on those topics, I felt like I had two *huge* strikes against me before I even got a date...

I looked at that thread recently. I got a number of lovely replies from people who would eventually be CSC members, and a much more positive reaction in general than I expected. Like Hoggy said, I was hooked.
