I'm glad people are looking out for each other, that's what support is all about. But does a reporter necessarily make it less safe or secure? If the side effects and concerns became known to strangers as well as friends, wouldn't that be a good thing?
> we know that Dr. Bob is monitoring the site and may use comments or experiences mentioned; he states that up front, but not in the interest of selling magazines and raising demographics... that is a totally different thing...
So people are feeling exploited? Made use of unjustly for someone else's advantage? Yes, maybe the magazine would benefit, but wouldn't its readers benefit, too? Would it be better if they remained unaware of the experiences of people here?
