> I, for one, appreciate your concerns about the negative effect these posts might be having on newcomers. A number of us have expressed this concern for several years now, but have eventually accepted, however reluctantly, that this does not appear to be a concern shared with Bob.

> While the medication board has continued to be a great source of informstion for new treatments, it does seem that the sense of warmth and community which once characterized Babble has largely disappeared. The number of active posters appears to be decreasing. I don't really understand the reasons for this, although I do feel it would have been helpful to both Lou and the community to impose moderate checks on some of his more frightening statements. I don't read them, but I can see that they could be quite alarming to new posters who are just trying to find out if this site is helpful for them. We will never know how many potential posters have decided to reject this site because of this. It is very sad to see how lifeless Babble is now, compared to how it once was.

What you have written could lead a subset of readers to think that I am your subject person here to be considered to be the cause of a real or imagined ill of the community. Note my objection to you posting such, for I think that what you have posted here could induce hostil and disagreeable feeliings toward me and decrease the respect, regard and confidence in which I am held.
I am asking for you to post here:
A. What kind of statement has a negative effect?
B. Why could that type of statement not be positive?
C. What would be a moderate check consist of?
D. What constitutes a frightening statement?
E. What could you do here to bring back to life this forum as you say it is lifeless
F. Do you know how many people that are not seen here that have died?
Lou
