Several years ago, after perhaps the first of Dr. Bob's long and unexplained absence from the boards, I told him that people were sure he was disappearing so that he could examine the effects of his absence. That we were sure we were lab rats in an experiment.
He asked me if I thought people felt more secure to think that he was watching and experimenting, rather than that he just wasn't watching at all. That he just wasn't there.
I was impressed. It was not particularly Bob-like at the time to say anything so shrinky, but I thought maybe he was on to something there.
I just thought I'd pass it along, in case anyone else found it as helpful a question as I did.
