Hi Jay,
I don't disagree with your idea to compare postings on PSB now with previous periods, but I would suggest Bob wait a little longer. I don't think there has been enough time to collect enough information (postings) to have an accurate count. I suspect that a lot of time and energy lately has been devoted by everyone to the PBA site sted PSB.
As for my own situation, I don't post on PSB. I haven't in more than a year, probably closer to 2 years. There is no one I know there, and I am not about to trust my situational problems with folks I don't know. I posted there a few times in the past when I was a newer member and when the board was new, and I am not sure it worked out so well. So yea, this 2000 board has something to do with trust also because I know these people. There are a lot of new people and I have gotten into uncomfortable, unsupportive discussions with them in the past. If you take the here and now, why in hell would I want to talk about anything personal, when people (listed off the top of my head) like you and Jannelle and Bekka and Anyuser are not only unsupportive but pretty much not nice at all. After reading the names you have called the older members and after reading your perceptions of how you think we are (elitist and pretty much contemptible and evil), NO! I'd confide in a person off the street (and I have) before I would say anything on the PSB board.
Also, since my Dx 4 or more years ago, I don't feel such a need to discuss life/social problems because I know I'm the one who has to live with them and deal with them myself. No one can help me there...
