Oh, O.K. Thanks for explaining that. It makes perfect sense if the new plan included dealing only with notifications from board members and not with ones from deputies. The proposed change itself seemed so benign that I couldn't imagine what bothered you about it. I didn't know about the part that would have excluded deputies from notifying- I think that would be very difficult and frustrating for anyone acting as a deputy.
If Bob wants to make this change, it would seem to be all right as long as both board members and deputies can make notifications. I hope we eventually get back to at least some occasional communication with Bob. It's needed in order to make plans for the APA meeting, and for discussion of rule changes and improvements such as the current one.
I will continue to think that it would have been much better for Bob to have acknowledged the recent turmoil here. We have lost some wonderful posters, and many posters who are still here are no longer writing the fascinating, intimate posts which made Babble so special and helpful. There was also a shocking increase in angry, hostile posting all through the boards, with ones directed towards a long-time poster on Medication being perhaps the most extreme and disturbing. At times like this, just a brief word, conveying understanding and support, would have gone a long way to minimize the damage. It would help even now.
