> Dr. Bob, if you are going to charge for this website you ought to at least UPDATE the tips and tricks section. It is kind of out of date and old. Perhaps add a section on foreign meds there. Maybe add a section dealing specifically with treatment resistant depression. Honestly, your site is not worth being charged for right now.

> Pay site? Get real Dr. Bob your website would lose so much traffic you might as well shut it down.* Dr.Nemeroff - First, I'd like to thank you for teaching me the basics of the HPA axis (enough to allow me to dig deeper for a more complete understanding). How about giving some of your vast knowledge on the HPA axis and it's role in some of the affective and neuroendocrine disorders. This could be included in the Tips section. Even a couple of your journal articles (depending on publishing rights, etc.) would be of vast help to many who frequent this site.
I do agree with you that the Tips section needs a far bit of work, but hey, like us, Dr.Bob is probably too busy to research it himself. Guys like you (also Dr.Stan Kutcher, Dr.Herbert Meltzer, Dr.Gary Remington, Dr.Nancy Andreasen, Dr.Stephen Stahl, Dr.J. Calabrese, etc.) could probably reach into your filing cabinets and come up with some pertinent information for this site.
I know that there is no renumeration for this, but I do not think Dr.Bob is being paid to moderate this site as much as he does. You might contribute some of your expertise (eg treatment resistant depression) to the Tips site. Consider it a gesture to help people, like us contributors to Babbleland who are afflicted with a discoupled HPA axis (or other mental malady). After all, if it were not for mental disorders, you might have a job and may be teaching a Fine Arts class at Red Deer College.
I agree with you that there should not be a charge for this site. If there are upkeep costs, perhaps the U of Chicago could help or maybe some philanthropic organization or even the U.S. government. I would not even mind one of those advertisements scrolling across the top of the page (eg 1-900-WHY-LITHIUM).
Thanks for your time and keep up your valuable work. - Sincerely, Cam W.
