> I thought this board was for support, not to be written up as guinea pigs for some study!!!!!!!!!
It *is* for support and is *not* an experiment in which I'm manipulating anyone or anything. I'm sorry if this caught you by surprise. The possibility of an article is mentioned in the FAQ:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#copyright
And I've even referred before to this specific article:

> did his university's IRB approve his eavesdropping on this supposed "support" forum and use our own words in a journal publication!?!?!?
I did contact the IRB about the research project that Bob (not the currently registered Bob, the former one) proposed, but that's all in limbo. The IRB approves research, not publication, but it wouldn't hurt to ask them about this, so I'll do that and try to get an official answer.
> i'm so upset right now. I can't believe this is happening..
Was there something specific that you said, or that I said about you, that you're upset about?
> so I guess Dr. Bob has the right to take everything posted here and throw it into a book and make a few thousand dollars off of us. what a sad thought.
FYI, as far as making money "off of you", I've also been considering for a while having a charge be part of the registration process (and therefore required to post)...
Please redirect any follow-ups to this to Psycho-Babble Administration. You can do that at the top of the confirmation page, after you first submit a post. Thanks,
Bob
