Hi Dr. Bob - I hadn't thought of Todd's points, but I agree that there is a concern. I have a "seed" idea...I haven't thought of the mechanics of it & it seems like it might be alot of work to organize. I also don't remember the original reason for the creation of these 2 new boards; if it was that the other board gets crowded & there are too many posts for people to skim through to find out their content, this seed-idea might work.
What if posts on the original PB board had a code beside them to indicate which of the 3 categories they fell under? I don't know if it would mean people went into 'psychosocial-babble' to post & the post appeared on the main board with "PS" beside it (or some other indicator) & the same with the 'junior' posts having their own identifying code or initial - OR if in the area where we type our post there were boxes to click in similar to "add name of previous poster".
Just an 'unthought-out' thought.Kath
