I agree that JL owes us nothing....

However, doesn't he have a moral responsibility to at least try? I say that because over the years at BrainTalk, as it went though changes (leaving MGH, becoming a non-profit) and as John went through changes in his life (also leaving MGH and getting a new job) -- through all that the messages and posts from John all support the fact that he cared about BT, that he would continue to maintain BT, that he would never abandon BT, etc...

That was always the tone and message of his posts during every change - in BT itself, or in his own life.

So, I believe a lot of people are disappointed over the lack of communication from him recently because all of his previous statements regarding the forum were always about how he will always "be there" for BT and the people who use it.

And then the forum crashed, he was nowhere to be found, and there was no message and no communication. After years and years of promises to always "be there" to support BT, all of a sudden he wasn't there anymore.

Sure, technically he owes us nothing at all. Legally he owes us nothing at all. But morally he should have done better because that's what he promised over and over again.
