This could be an investigation either into the kind of users and their mental health, or into their reasons for using the site. Or both. So possibly d. i.e. "number of symptoms/level of functioning" or f, i.e. "what factors cause people to post here rather than discuss med problems with their pdocs or other physicians". I would find both of these extremely interesting.

I agree, they're all good issues, but we do need to start somewhere. If we consider (a) eliminated, that leaves:
c. the reasons for lurking versus participation, or how/when/why posters move from one to the other, and possibly back again
d. number of symptoms/level of functioning
f. what factors cause people to post here rather than discuss med problems with their pdocs or other physicians
Maddie, what do you think? Thuso, are you still here?

Hmm, good question. I guess you could be acknowledged just as Llurpsie_Noodle and if someone IRL asked who you were, it would be up to you whether you disclosed that to them. But either way, I could confirm that you were one of the contributors...
