hiya Bobby
honestly, I dont think you need to keep *all* your posts in the subforum ....just the ones related to news or research articles....that is why Doc created it for you...not to *restrict* you to it LOL but rather to have that as the place for the articles so that *this* forum could open up for discussion.
I think it may just be a bit intimidating for someone coming in here to chat and only seeing articles and no talking going on.
I think once a few conversations start up in the main ALS forum, others may join in........
you do a really good service to all by posting your articles Bobby.
