Hi Lou,
I'm glad that you are offering to help others, and that you are open to receiving private correspondence seeking help from you. I think that is a wonderful thing.I also think that it's a gift that you could share with the rest of Babble. If you read and respond to posts on other boards, you can have the opportunity to help many people, not just those in the thread, but those that lurk on the WWW, or who come across your post in a few months' time.
What is preventing you from making more regular posts and using babblemail? In a sense, why bother with Psycho-Babble if you do not use its features?
One of the reasons I banned myself from the Admin page, specifically from replying to your posts in the month of August, is that the Admin board is not a place where we can reasonably give or expect support. To me it's the most dangerous and anxious place on Babble.
I accept Babble as a flawed system. It's flawed because it's operated by humans, it's flawed becuase it's used by humans, and it's never going to obey any kind of law or logic like an ideal system will. There will be exceptions and fuzziness and moral faux-pas and mistakes. And sometimes the mistakes get corrected, and sometimes they don't. But for me, the rest of the Babble experience is far more positive than the mistakes are disheartening.
Participation is a choice.
