after a reasonable amount of time...I guess would depend on how much you trust the mods? In that quarter, HERE I have no problem with that AT ALL. Other places, well, the mods can and have been 'inconsistent' at best. Still other places exert a sort of benign neglect unless a complaint is lodged against the initial poster [usually probably because another poster believes the initial poster is WRONG...or disagrees with facts that contradict their own beliefs]

I understand the meds fog thing, it takes a toll on a very many of us. At least this way, options at a later date/time are not totally out of the question. I believe it's all designed as a courtesy to the MODS, after all, they are the ones who make sure we all 'behave'. Good manners all around, essentially. I believe the whole of board participants adhere to these principles and that's what makes it all healthy.

Thanks for all the work folks! - j
