I updated a couple scripts, but made a couple mistakes doing so. Sorry about that! I don't think any posts were lost. I'll take care of this asap.

That would be in lieu of any communication from YOU.
Why don't you write a paper on it? I'll fold it into paper airplanes and send it back page by page.
Pretty irresponsible behavior for an admin. I welcome the block.

Yes, it IS interesting how Bob gets in his little "shots". Kinda passive-aggressive, IMHO.

I have to agree. Dr. Bob is evidently aware of the concern members have about the future of Babble, because of the direct posts about it on both Medication and Administration. To answer only a question about a technical malfunction seems both inadequate and liable to raise members' concerns about Babble's future even more. We all expect a degree of care and competence which is, disappointingly, not in evidence at present, If Babble collapses altogether, this will be the principal reason. I personally only want to be part of a constructive, hopeful, well-run forum; Babble was once all of those wonderful things, but it sadly isn't that way now,

Thanks! It is certainly beautiful, with snow on the mountains and spring flowers all over. The exchange rate is better for Americans than it has been for the last several years, but it's still expensive,

Dr Bob is on another planet. Watering the grass while the house is burning down.
I mean, what's up doc? You know people are concerned about several issues here. Most have spent years here and....you aren't psycho babble, we are.
Without us you'd be staring at a blank screen wondering what if. We aren't your patients, we're your teacher. I've respected you, others the same, quid pro quo.

> Yes, it IS interesting how Bob gets in his little "shots". Kinda passive-aggressive, IMHO.I don't think that's fair Ron. I was shocked to come back to this thread this evening having noticed what was clearly a computer glitch this morning. My first reaction was that people were way more nuts than I realized. It took awhile for me to remember that what is an obvious computer problem to me and to bob (and to you also?) would not be obvious to everyone. I wish now that I'd spelled that out when I made my test post.

Posts are "disappeared" on psych central. As are posters. It's not a public process there so who knows why.

OK, I think the posts here now are the posts that should be here now. Sorry again about the f*ck-up.

I hadn't seen your post when I posted earlier.

It does seem to sum it up. My worldview shaped by an early overdose of spy novels. That's sobering.

Agree with jane d.
This board's attitude toward Bob seems to be summed up by Woody Allen's famous joke:
"Life is like a bad restaurant-- the food's no good-- and the portions are too small."
If Bob is around, he's no good; if he's not around, he should be around more.

Except Alvy is funny - humor seems to be generally absent here. Folks here seem to take themselves a bit too seriously. Lighten up!

This is so crude as a rebuttal, I thought you might get a chuckle out of it:
