Actually, this idea's been percolating a bit and is still incomplete, but this board has a disproportionate number of very vocal alphas who have proven a degree of legitimacy over the years. This, in itself, is not a bad thing. But when you also consider there are a number of sub-alphas and aspirational alphas and straight-out liars about their alpha-hood, that tends to give a skewed view of the community. A lot of us are 'normal' behind the paychecks and under the clothing. We all have our failed hopes and dreams, lost loves, physical ailments, etc - but very few of us give much voice to that with good reason. No one wants to come to SF to read agony story after agony story. That said, I think we all have to remember that what you read on SF is mostly the triumphs and rejoicing, with the understanding that sorrow and disappointment always lurks under the surface, unspoken. Remember that the next time you try to measure your life against what you're reading here. None of us measure up against that yardstick.
