> I think this board is run very well.
***********************************************I am fairly new to Psychobabble, and I agree that it is run very well. Before I registered at Psychobabble, I had read, and participated in, the AOL message boards and the Usenet groups. Psychobabble is such a vast improvement over those other boards. There's just no comparison. There are a few helpful posters on the other boards, but in general, the overall level of discourse is low. There is too much off topic posting, and I found that there was an awful lot of "co-dependent enabling" (for lack of a better expression). I finally gave up on Usenet "Support" groups when I found someone actually trying to sabotage my attempts to pull myself out of a rut I'd been in for a long time. Fortunately, I was able to talk the problem over with my psychiatrist, and I extricated myself from the group and from that poster. The usenet group title "alt.support" is a misnomer. I've decided that, as far a mental health support groups are concerned, it's absolutely essential to have a highly qualified monitor.
