Hi Oracle,
> Isn't that a bit much to ask of a Dr Bob, considering he offers all this for free ?
Actually, what I had in mind was something that would reduce Dr. Bob's work load, not increase it. As I understand it, Dr. Bob currently checks the board several times a day and scans all of the incoming posts personally. He then responds to those that require his input. The idea presented above might reduce or eliminate the need for him to scan all incoming posts and, thereby, reduce his work load associated with the administration of this site.
Further, instead of a dedicated pager, a cell phone with internet access would work even better and not require him to carry an additional telecommunication device. The PB Pager Patrol "staff" could use a private e-mail address or maybe some type of instant messaging system to alert Dr. Bob of a post that requires his attention.
In any event, it's just an idea. Might work, might not.
