>I didn't mean it to be unkind. I don't think you can imply that Dr Bob is a caring individual because he pays for running a website yet doesn't offer any support himself, IMO. Actually, there are some members here who have felt, at various times, that we are part of some vast experiment, lab rats, if you will. Not really part of a doctor's care, but perhaps under one's scrutiny.
I don't share that particular view, but I do think Dr Bob takes great pains to remain as impartial as possible and let the posters take care of each other - and he stays out of it, by design, and by stated policy. This is a place for peer to peer support, not a place where we are under his compassionate care.
That's all I'm saying. I thought you were saying that you were his patient, and that really, really intrigued me.
