I think that there are different obligations for a therapist who's giving advice for free on the Internet, and for one that you're PAYING for office visits. Credentials are necessary in both cases, of course, to validate the medical advice, but "full disclosure" is too much to DEMAND on the internet. (You can ask, of course.)
In an office where we're being charged, we'd be the guests and Toby would have the role of the obliging host. On a public message board I think we're all guests and should treat each other as such.You know?
(I don't mean to drag this thing on and on and on...)
