Yes, I think this is mostly for support and education, and only secondarily for research. Funding is minimal and requires Dr. Bob giving of his own time a lot, in addition to his regular job seeing patients in a university.
I can't imagine working that hard, myself, so even though I don't always agree with Dr. Bob's decisions (as you can see in an above thread), I also appreciate his hard work to keep these boards going well. Without these rules, the board can easily deteriorate into hostile chaos. This has happened in the past, and the rules and structure of the boards have evolved in response to what was learned about how misunderstandings and disputes develop.
The other posters are fantastic, too. Lots of information and support flowing around here.
