There are very few double posts, from what I've noticed. Maybe I've missed them, because I mostly check three or four boards and don't read others where I'm not particularly involved in the topics.
But that's why I'm an advocate of separate boards and posting relevant topics on the relevant board. I really do come here to participate in certain types of discussions, and not others.
If a topic has a direct connection to psych meds, and is about a physical problem, then I have no issue with its being posted on the meds board. But when it doesn't as with quite a few recent posts, I do actually see it as a hindrance to discussion, and also at times a disturbing interference in my desire not to be involved in certain topics. One reason I don't go to the grief board is that I find it too upsetting. I find other types of discussions disturbing, too and try to avoid them.
On the other hand, I am very interested in psych meds, and would like to participate, either as lurker or poster on that board. So when I see certain topics that I'd rather avoid, and that have nothing to do with psych meds, it seems unhelpful.
I accept that there may be topics related to psych meds that I find upsetting-- but that's a price I feel I've agreed to pay to participate.
If Bob wanted to keep all topics, like grief and alternative meds, etc, on one board, I wouldn't find this a place I would visit very often. But that isn't the case here.
I just believe that we should all respect and act according to the posting set=up and rules.
