I am curious about something. Why do so many posters try to engage Dr. Bob in some sort of dialog?
From what I have gleaned from the archives, Dr. Bob wishes to only be an observer and not a participator. This site is for research purposes only - we are in a sense an "experiment".
While there is a 'clinical' interest in us, I sense there is not a 'sentimental' one. Does this make some posters uncomfortable? Is this why some try to personalize the relationship between us, the posters, and the good doctor (AKA: Silent Bob)?
It is an interesting thought - when someone is silent or missing, does it evoke emotions of some sort in us? Why do people seek connection? Any thoughts?
