> people said that they felt like it was unsupportive and Dr. Bob didn't really seem to care or address it.
I've been nodding in agreement with what others have been saying, but I guess you didn't notice. :-)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are two main concerns:
1. It'll draw people away from the other boards. That's possible, but (a) it might not (the book club board was brought up as an example, and this board could be another), (b) it might in fact do the opposite (if they keep checking a reunion board they might be less likely to drift off completely), and (c) even if it does (PSB may in fact have drawn some posters away from the main PB), that would seem to imply that those posters get more out of a group like that, which is something positive for them.
2. People will feel excluded. (a) Yes, but even now, A may feel excluded if B responds to C instead of to them. But does that mean B shouldn't support C? (b) As Tina said, "at some point, everyone becomes an oldtimer".

I hope you finally did hit the books after you complained. :-) Good luck tomorrow!
