> PS: Do people feel it's "bad" to be redirected?No, I don't think so. After all it's vital you keep Babble focussed and relevant and redirecting non-med chat (and vice-versa with PSB) is just a part of this. I think what you are seeing is a reluctance for people to move boards. I certainly feel more comfortable on the med board and I know many feel similarly about PSB.
I'm not exactly sure how redirect works; if you are just suggesting the conversation should wind down or move over, then great. I agree. I wouldn't be so happy if you were physically placing a redirect link on PSB since if I wanted my comments posted there I would've done so myself. In doing so you would be automatically involving me in a debate I've already expressed no desire to participate in. My comments (which you've kindly brought to everyones' attn :-) ) were an answer to a person (Judy)'s Q in an obscure thread in which I thought noone would interrupt...
Maybe you jumped the gun a little on this one; I thought Judy's last post had effectively rolled things up...
Ta,
J.
