Good morning @CheerBear and everyone else but really I'm talking to CheerBear...er...is that disrespectful and offensive??? 
I SUPER like your DBT post, CheerBear. I can hear how anxious you are feeling. I can't be 100% certain, but I am FAIRLY certain that the continued rotation of the earth on its axis isn't contingent on how our DBT adventure goes. If we completely fluff it up and it ends up being the most disasterous thread that has ever existed in the history of Forum Land, we can simply ask for it to be removed...and we will then be famous for having created the most disasterous thread that has ever existed in the history of Forum Land. 
I super like how you have provided links to other relevant parts. I think this is one way in which we will actually move quicker than a "real" group because we don't actually have to re-hash stuff, we can just say "go here." I also super liked the way you set out the heading. That makes it super clear for the table of contents. I'm planning to edit the first page to include the TOC this week as this seems a good time to do that. Third, I super like the questions you posed, and also how you acknowledged how scary it might be for people to join in.
My only thought about something we might do differently as we go along, is whether we need to keep including information about where to find the handouts online. Hmmm....maybe I could add that to the first page and then we can do the "refer here" thing.
It sounds a little like you are super anxious about whether people will join in or not. I can't say that this bothers me at all - I guess I'm just very used to playing alone. I am concerned though that people may feel too scared to join in (as opposed to just not wanting to). Maybe when I write my response to your post (i.e. when I've actually done this first step of the doing bit ) I will invite some people to share their thoughts if they want to.
I think perhaps part of the reason I don't feel bothered by how many people do or don't engage on a thread in Forum Land is because I know from my experiences on the uni forum that for every person who posts, there are about a bazillion people lurking. We will never ever know who is out there that can't afford to access DBT, who is too shy to even register in Forum Land, but who follows along silently with our adventure. I find that thought amazing, and that is why I am perfectly fine just chattering along to myself.
Yay, we are doing the doing bit CheerBear!!!!!!
I super hate that there is a huge bus with a housing sign on it driving around your world, CheerBear. I so very very badly wish that buses didn't exist. I have the huge TTT bus driving around my world too. I think buses should be banned. Yay for there being no buses in Forum Land!!!!!
I so very badly wish you had stability in your housing situation CheerBear. Listening to you and others talking about that stress makes me recognise afresh how privileged I am to own a home. Of course, I have the stress of trying to pay a mortgage while living on welfare, but I recognise that something extremely dire would have to happen for me to lose my house (just watch, my house will burn down tonight!!! ). If I found eleventy million dollars in the street (and the owner didn't claim it after I took it to the police ), I would definitely buy you and your LF a house.
I hope today is a good day for you @CheerBear
