Hmmm...
Well, I've been here at least 3 1/2 years.. maybe 4 years.. and I remember knowing, all that time, that this was a site for Dr Bobs research. It has always says on the top of the page that your posts might be used.
And I barely remember Dr Bob taking a more active (ie, not just administrative) role here.. so its probably about 3 years since he did that.. quite harsh to accuse him of "He setup and portrays his forums as a place to get help, advice, and support, not only from other consumers, but from none other than "Dr. Bob" himself." How does he do this?? I have never seen anything where he suggests that he will answer medical queries.Also, he states that with 10 years of net experience he has never come across a "I own your posts" kind of clause. Well, he can't have that much experience cos I have come across it before.. most of the "private" (ie, not corporation) sites I use also contain a similar clause.
I do believe Dr Bob should check with individuals befor eusing their posts though.
Oh, and this wonderful Dr Grohal didn't even mention the benefits that many of us get here. maybe he should try seeing from a users point of view, who have no where else to go during the bad times.
This article isn't even dated, so I'm not even gonna think about it anymore.. its a pointless peice of stirring if you ask me!!
