Thanks, I'm glad we agree on that goal.

Safety and security are definitely fundamental to the goal of support.
"psych chat" proposed a different way to "act accordingly" on the long thread at Admin:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20090813/msgs/923503.html
Would that be an acceptable compromise?
To consolidate these discussions, I'd like to redirect this thread there. That's a different thread, so if you'd like to be notified by email of follow-ups to it, you'll need to request that there.
Thanks,
