Phillipa,
There is a bias towards posting negative things. They are more memorable and it feels responsible to alert others to one's own pitfalls. The function of memory seems biased in favor of negative experience in that it is acting to protect you from future error. People (well, me) don't come as often to a support group when they feel good, it just doesn't occur to them. For these reasons I feel many positive experience reports fall by the wayside.
