>you are jsut talking about passing along basic info from board to board, right?
That's what I thought (and believe) Dr. Bob was always talking about, from the very beginning of the thread. That it helps if someone else - could be a deputy, or could be *any* poster - would just alert people on the thread in question about what's over on the Admin thread - provide a link, maybe? That and nothing more. I do understand it could seem that asking and doing would have taken the same amount of time. But perhaps not to Dr. Bob, at that precise moment. It's been my experience our brains don't always sort that kind of thing out, even something that in hindsight seems incredibly obvious, in the "heat of the moment," so to speak.
Of course, his subsequent short and sometimes (to me, anyway) partly cryptic replies didn't exactly help in clarifying things:-( But then again, I can't *force* Dr. Bob or anyone else I know to change their communication style, I suppose
It does seem the thread later changed and added topics quite a bit as it continued though, and at that point, I became somewhat confused.
I wonder about the idea of laziness. Maybe sometimes, at that moment, hour, night, etc., someone is doing something even more important, in their view. We can't know all the particulars of 100% of what's going on in others lives, on and off Babble, at any given time. I know I often brand myself "lazy" for asking for certain kinds of help, or not doing something fast enough, or in a different order. Then sometimes, my T., or a friend, gives me another perspective.
I think Dr. Bob does everything he can in these situations, and he does take them seriously and does care. I can't provide proof sufficient in a court of law, or the court of public opinion here, for that matter. But I do believe that.
