My thoughts on the matter kind of go like this:

If I'm interested in hearing people's opinion about something kind of multi-disciplinary (something that could go in health, relationships, main PB, psychology, faith and social

[a purely hypothetical example might be: I caught a VD from my pdoc, who is also my T. Do I tell him that my antibiotics might clash with my psychopharm drugs? How do I break the news to my lover? What will my rabbi think when I have to miss my pdoc's son's bar mitzvah? etc...]

I'm probably going to start the thread whereever I feel that I could get the best feedback. Wherever the personalities are such that it would stimulate an interesting discussion. Often that has to do with the presence of specific posters on some boards more than others.

My feeling is that the original poster posts on a particular board because they are hoping to get a particular kind of support. I think that the intention of the original poster should be maintained wherever possible.

To follow up my extremely hypothetical example, if the most important immediate concern is to learn more about drug side-effects and interactions from the antibiotic and psychopharm drugs (since pdoc is not exactly a great resource for me right now!), redirecting the thread from the main "PB" board to "faith" is not going to help me very much.

my 2 cents. I've often posted things on a less-relevant board on purpose, simply because I knew that I would be more likely to get a good discussion going that might include include certain people's perspectives on my particular issues I value.

^^That's a friggin' long sentence! Can I have extra babble bonus points for grammaticality under stress?
