> However, I recall several instances when regular posters have left the board for varying intervals ...Various reasons were given ...
One that you left out was the reason I took a hiatus from this board---because I was being targetted by a tenacious and hostile poster who repeatedly interrupted all kinds of threads with visciousness. It was disruptive and made this otherwise supportive place a hostile environment for me.
I won't mention that poster's name here, but I am sure it is known (as are his aliases) to others participating in this thread.
One thing I have noticed is that the addition of this "administrative" board has helped to limit the interruptions that had occurred when people start to take up issues about civility, management of the environment of the board, etc., within content threads.
I think separating it out has helped a lot. Good idea, Dr. Bob.
