Doc John,

I think it is great that you are allowing us to vote on the issue of deleting or editing our messages, but I do not understand your position on this. Why would you not want to allow someone the right to their written posts? We were always allowed this at BT and actually I cannot think of any other board that I post on the Internet that does not allow it. I do not think I am comfortable posting on a board that does not allow it.

I think everyone will agree that Healthboards is probably the most moderated board on the Internet. By that I mean that members are not allowed any contact with each other, no e-mail addresses, no PMing, links are not allowed, other board names are not allowed to be mentioned on the threads, the list of things not allowed goes on and on. It is so restrictive that I refuse to post or read there. I find it too frustrating and there are better boards on the Internet, yet some people do post there.

I found this board open and inviting, but now midstream you suddenly changed the rules and I was not informed. You should have placed a sticky at the top of each forum and announced that you had changed the rules before making the changes. I do not check the Community and Forum Feedback usually. When the board first started I visited this forum occasionally to determine what was happening with BT and this board. I was very supportive of this board. I go to the spinal forum to see if there is a question that needs answered and then move on.

If I do not have control over my posts...I simply will not post...
