I think people would not be any happier if the door was unlocked but still closed.Using your analogy--If the boards are rooms we can run in and out of, the 2000 board is IMO not really one with a closed and locked door. It is one that has an open door and a doorway at which you can stand and hear/read all the conversation and see who is in there. You just can't go inside and converse. Which ought to be ok if you meant it when you said "We don't particualry want to go in your room..."

I must have been unclear, cause you're missing my point . . . standing at the door and looking in, however not being able to converse, is pretty much equivalent to the door being locked, closed, an invisible force field, a junk yard dog or anything else that basically says NO TRESSPASSING. (ie. no posting)The issue is that the boundary exists, not what's on the other side. Get it? I have no interest in a reunion board, but I am interested in the concept of exclusiveness, or separateness or no tresspassing and how it relates to a support group. I think that this is a pretty simple concept to get.
You don't need to feel like you have to justify the reunion boards existence - you didn't create it. If Dr. Bob created a "Lini and Friends" board, you'd bet I'd be on there, enjoying it, and feeling pretty supported, but it wouldn't be a mystery to me why others might be offended...
