Which people?
> I particularly remember a conversation about how it wasn't a good idea to have exclusive boards because people would feel like they were being slapped if they tried to goto the board / post on the board and got a message that they couldn't. I'm wondering why the person who was concerned about that isn't concerned about that in this case?
Did you ask this person? Have you considered that circumstances might be different within and/or without the person which might lead him or her to a different reaction to a new concept? Is there something unacceptable about that?

You can say *that* again.

Certainly.

And there is also no obligation to post questions or concerns to the board. I suppose that each of us decides how best to get our needs met and direct our energies to that end.

alex, I seem to want to reassure you about this, and clearly I can't. I don't wish to keep going 'round about it, either. I really don't want to feel angry about someone else's issue.
