Very good idea. I made a few short posts there a week ago or so. I also tried to post a longer one to the Dr Phil message board, but it didn't take, for some reason. I thought perhaps it was edited out? I was basically reposting a letter I'd submitted to the moving on site back in February, responding to a myconclusion post that was written by a young man that i knew back in the 70's when he was a toddler and i was 20. I was aware of many inglorious details of his upbringing that he didn't seem aware of in his glowing family recollections. It has crossed my mind that this might also be a way we can all respond to the youth that are still in, to have a message board or string that responds to thier myconclusion posts, by ex members who actually knew them individually and saw things differently. Of course that is also getting personal, so I am mixed about it. Anyways, my original letter got buried at movingon quite quickly, but I'll link to it here and it can be reposted if it will do any good anywheres. Thanks...
