This is just my interpretation based on my observations. Comments are welcome. I'm trying to be supportive of and helpful to Sal as a person even though I think that his behaviour is peculiar and may be a sign of distorted perceptions (which could result from dramatic mood swings).

Elizabeth,I'm a little bit thrown off. Sal made this list two weeks ago. This issue was during a very fractious time on the board; Sal felt the need to defend himself, and the conflict has mostly been resolved. I don't think it is in anyone's interest to revisit it. I also don't believe that one should overstep boundaries on the board in suggesting what someone's diagnosis is or how to medicate it-unless one is directly asked-even if the motives are out of a self of "helpfulness". One might also call this "self-aggrandising". I'm sure you recall an episode when people began to analyze you and make assumptions about you because of the frequency of your posts. So, I would remind you, "do unto other, etc."
Lots of people are always calling upon you for help (including me) , so it's not like there's nowhere to put your smarts and energy. :-)Shelli
p.s., I'm probably being a bit harsh. I do think because you have so much knowledge, you have to focus on when and how to use it.
