First, I'm afraid to post because this thread will then rise like a balloon when I'd much prefer it to descend to the bottom.
Jill, you make a point re Weight Watchers vs. Jenny Craig, but we are not importing or imposing anything. We were on an active site and felt lost (and hurt) without it. Might add that when newcomers came to our site we welcomed them, considering them an enrichment and asset rather than a detraction. But to each his own.
Some psych issues may lend themself to a Q & A format, many will not. In fact, there are a number of threads here that resemble interaction much more than Q & A. If it is a matter of purchasing the study materials here and then using them for Q & A why not be forthright, state the price, and say so? I did not hesitate to purchase the book and other materials on our previous site, though there was no such requirement.
And, of course, anyone can join in. This is an open thread.
