Chris: I thought it was pretty brave and "adaptive" of you to bring the whole issue up. This community doesn't function like a "normal cybercommunity" because of the way it is organized. I mean it's by threads--people come and go--and it's difficult to keep track of or develop a relationship with the people on line. But there are other communities that are good for that--perhaps Psycho-Babble Open delivered to your email account? Anyway, I just wanted to point out that some of the way you are feeling is inherent in the way the board is structured. This board is good at addressing some needs that I think other boards do not (the whole med issue) and not good at addressing needs that other boards do (the whole community issue). I would like to be on a community board as well as this one--the problem that I have found is that it is difficult to have open community boards generally that are unmonitored (I'm not talking about Psycho-Babble's because I have little experience with it--I just mean in general) because eventually some "Lu-Lu" joins the boards either for perversion purposes or for attention seeking behavior and things fall apart.
