It's not that bad, muffled. He's not putting us in a cage and performing tests. He's just observing what happens naturally and wants to understand it better.
I'm a teeny bit surprised that he's not already familiar with the transference issues, though. I know I've already completely described my issues on Psychology. :)
There are most likely lots of people that observe anything that goes on a public internet site. Other consumers, college psych students, maybe even a few therapists have the wit to try to find out what's really going on in our brains. And maybe a few people who don't like particular posters. Dr. Bob is just interested in the dynamics of groups. Maybe other people interested in the dynamics of groups watch us too.
I've got no problem helping him with that and I'm always happy to answer any questions he has or volunteer anything I might notice (globally). It's a worthy enough goal. We even talk about it on Psychology sometimes, don't we? The effect of Babble participation?
I only mentioned it this time because how he asked his question sounded a bit funny or narcissistic if one didn't keep in mind his interest in group dynamics. And I didn't want anyone to be hurt by that.
