That is true, but maybe you could consider current posters as fairly representitive? It may be useful to include the students who have chosen not to post there because of concerns about confidentiality also. One could periodically post the question incase people change their mind over time. And all of the above is still begging the question regarding why the students board should be intended only for current university students as opposed to student issues in general.
> 3. Obtaining funds wouldn't actually be the main rationale.
I have gone on a hunt through the archives to try to grasp the situation. I do understand the rationale with respect to multiple email addresses thus multiple posting names thus blocks don't really serve their purpose. Surely there is an alternative rather than credit cards, though, I personally don't have a credit card due to problems with compulsive spending etc and it is probably likely that there are others in the same boat.
I am sorry to go on and on about this. I think I have pinpointed just what is bugging me so much... I shall shut up about this now.
