Dinah here, acting as deputy for Dr. Bob.

Everyone, please remember the civility guidelines. Even if a poster encourages frankness, and even if the intent is to be helpful, please keep the civility guidelines in mind. I'm pretty sure the civility guidelines are a general rule about what is and isn't allowable on the site, and can't be overridden even with the poster's permission. I'm sure Dr. Bob will correct me here, if I'm wrong. And please do, Dr. Bob.
But until Dr. Bob comes by, please be careful. Here is an excerpt from the civility guidelines of the FAQ referenced above.
"It's fine to give others feedback as long as its constructive. It tends to be more constructive if you put things in terms of what the other person might do better rather than what they did "wrong". And it tends to be more conducive to harmony to talk about how you feel than what someone else did, for example, to use an "I-statement" like "I feel put down by what you said" instead of a "you-statement" like "you're so arrogant". But don't just try to disguise the latter as the former, as in "I feel Dr. Bob has gone overboard". :-)"
As always, posts about posting policies should be directed to Administration.
Thanks.
