Dr. Bob,
Just for the record, I am finding many of the redirects from PB to PSB distracting and irritating. When there is a core group happening on PB, many of whom do not participate on PSB, I think you could be a bit more flexible about who you decide to redirect. For example if a new person posts on PB about his/her relationship with a therapist, then I think a redirect is appropriate.
In the case where there are lots of interactions between the same group of people, I think redirecting pretty much kills the conversation. Like if you're at a dinner party where drugs are being discussed, then you mention the weather around dessert time and you must leave the table. How many people will actually follow you?
Lets say I felt suicidal. If I posted about it at all, I'd want to post to the people I already "know"--on the PB board, even though it is not a drug issue.
On the positive side, maybe you *are* being flexible at times, because I noticed that you did not redirect the conversation about ECT.Anyway, just my 2 cents.
