[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Except for the most part they actually DO have much in common with the strangers that you refer to, right?  I mean, as you said, this site is heavily a single demographic.  It's largely the same demographic helping each other out.  It's also a demographic that needs less help than most others . . .

Well, that's the thing. The person getting the help might be a Harvard-educated Brookings fellow who obviously is quite superior to our run-of-the-mill posters or it might be a low-life website owner. Either case, they get the same help because nobody knows which they are. Beautiful isn't it? Instead of producing reports [b]tarnishing DCUM's reputation[/b], those who want to assist the underserved should be helping them logon on here to get advice.

Do you really think that is or will be the end result?  I have trouble believing anyone who has posted before will be turned off by the article and it has generated a lot of publicity that will probably bring new people to the site, some who may linger.

I'm not necessarily saying you don't have grounds to be pissed, but I wonder if this will turn out to be a blessing in disguise for you.[/quote]
