Mine, too. He's got several Dinah posts, and seemed delighted and fascinated with this extra source of information. At first, he was really struck by how honest and thoughtful the posts were- now, they just kind of weave their way into our interactions without my actually bringing in copies.
Because he had previously been on a board of the American Psychoanalytic Association which dealt with boundary violations, he was especially interested in how intuitively (and accurately) people communicated here about possible violations . He felt that PB functioned as a valuable "brake" on violations which might have been starting to occur in the heat of all the passions that get stirred up. I don't think he had any idea of how sound the general reactions to possible violations actually were here; now, he considers PB very valuable in this regard. Also, he really does like the amount of support which is available here for people who are feeling most depressed and alone. And it's been fun educating him!
