Apologies in advance- I havent read all the posts so may be repeating stuff.I think its really great to have a choice between a list focussing on meds and one that doesnt. Important that people can send messages to any of the PB Boards- the same person may have different needs at different times.
I dont think your examples below are really all that different- personally, I'd prefer to keep PSB as is for these. PSB also certainly doesnt need professional input, from my experience (as a pretty new member).
Other possiblities:
*a list for people who want to express how they are feeling/ wider philosophy of life, but not looking for a response.
*a list (as has been mentioned) re research Tho this might also be addressed by doing PubMed searches- maybe what is needed is advice on how to search PubMed effectively (and you can also set up free update searches on it).On a different tack: a facility for people who want to let another PBabbler know their email to do it via you (so its not put on the Boards).
But main thing is its great to have the Boards, and that they are free (I would certainly not have joined if payment was needed- would have been wary of committing credit card details over the internet and to another country, and also not know it was going to be worth it.
