I'm not as worried about safety as other considerations which I do not feel free to name. But on the point of other considerations, private private boards are so infinitely superior that it would outweigh for me that worry altogether. Besides, as others have said, it wouldn't be unlike babblemail. I have reason to believe from things said to me over the years that my name is not unknown in private conversations. It doesn't bother me overmuch. And a rule not to discuss those not able to post would be extra extra civil. I trust you, Dr. Bob. And actually, I thank you for being more open this time to making private boards private.

I'll ask him. He does have training in the field of community building and that's his second job, or one of them. I'd be happy to help him forward his credentials to you if he's interested. But I'm not sure he would be. Although he completely agrees with me on this issue, he may feel that it is a conflict of interest. And also he doesn't much like the internet. I hope you understand how much both Babble and this issue mean to me in that I'm willing to sacrifice my privacy for it.

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't understand. Doesn't inordinately mean more than just ordinately? Am I missing a smile? Or are you trying to hint at something?
Am I still entitled to wear white? I really don't understand the new rules, you know. Even with Alexandra's elucidation.
