If it is, will we use the site any less? Think on it. What sources of discontent I've tried to summarize in a prior post. As for content, and security of same.. well any poster's name IS OUT THERE...just 'web' it up! How much you put into your profile or posts, and how easily accessable they are are different issues.

I for one, would LOOOVE to have docs read posts about how WE feel and interact with them..pros/cons.[as long as MY doc doesn't recognize ME?] On the other hand, I would HATE to have some 'research team' ANALYSE posts without history[out of overall context], permission and all the details we LEAVE OUT - ON PURPOSE. I DO NOT WANT TO BE A LAB RAT UNLESS IT IS SPECIFICALLY DETAILED IN THE SIGN-ON/UP AND SHOULD ANY QUOTES BE USED WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE IN SOMEONE'S FUTURE RESEARCH PAPER WITHOUT MY EDITORIAL BLESSING!!! Lurking is one thing, research w/o remuneration & acknowledgement to the source provider and validation/permission from the poster is another. BT Could Die..-maintain status-quo...-or thrive. It is now up to the leadership and the board's leadership where to go. Should either site be exploited as long as for positive purposes, I mite buy it....or go quiet. 'Bout now, I'm betting some wish I would...go quiet, that is... hey, Let's go on, complete with holes in the road. Flat tires or not...we go on. - j
