Have you not noticed posts by people acknowledging hurt they have suffered which they believe arise from administrative policies at this site?

> Interesting that you separate your first couple posts from the rest. I too noticed a different style in the first few postings. It almost seems as if authorship has changed? But perhaps that's my own mental illness showing...More likely the target audience has changed. The first post was composed to a group whose reactions I could not easily anticipate, and was written with a few specific experiences of others in mind. The later posts were primarily in response to repeated requests that I reply. The tone was more conversational and less oriented toward hinting at an ongoing private project conducted on behalf of a few friends who have approached us with problems they believe to be related to this site.
> I wasn't referring to your current postings. It's your level of involvement and interest in Bob that I find fascinating.
This has always fascinated me, that a person who knows the life history of an NFL quarterback and how that history might effects the outcome in a future contest is considered a typical sports fan, but when persons develop expertise in practical matters outside their professional area of involvement, their interest is sometimes considered an anomoly. I assure you there are X-Files fans whose review of that series is as intensive and perhaps more maticulous and thourough than is our casual research.And I'm not that involved. So far, I haven't run any Bible Code algorithms looking for hidden messages in posts submitted by members, nor am I likely to explore that avenue.
