> Look forward to chatting with them, not sure why it's causing soo much concern? Dr. Bob's notice was out of respect for us. These "new" memebers have the right to post, seek support, share experience, and perhaps help "us"!
It causes concern because we've been "research" before and never known exactly what was going on. If Bob was all about "respect" I believe that he would have been open about what the research is for and who the "helpers" will be and where they are from.....I am a long time member here and I've extremely wary of these research projects that Bob does.

> I get the feeling some have claimed this site as "theirs"?? Well, it's the internet, so unless this site becomes a closed door, hand-picked members only club, I say welcome.If Bob didn't have the posters that are here, there would be no Babble. Of course we feel concerned when a big change is taking place. I seriously doubt that any one of us feels that the site is "ours". But if you have alot invested here, as many do, then Bob could explain what he is doing with us. There are members here who have been here longer than I..and I've been here since 2002.
Hope this helps explain to you why some posters are less than happy about the research..
