Re:read the archives? How about a SEARCH ENGINE???

Okay, now here's some feedback for you. Your points about a search engine are good, and you still need some polishing of your form. Cool it with the personal putdowns and the caustic bashings of a group of individuals as if we are some unified malignant entity. Imagine yourself speaking in front of a room of professionals, all of whom know your name, your academic credentials, and your boss or academic advisor.

Then proceed to make your points in a way that doesn't put people down, lest bad consequences come your way as people bristle to the way you talk, or come to view you in a way that doesn't serve your own interests.

On this forum, one way we have consistently found to get this upleveling effect on behavior, is to ask professionals to use their name when they post. Then people conduct themselves in a well behaved fashion. When people post anonymously, the worst often comes out. Whether the anonymous person is Pro-EMDR or Con-EMDR. We understand that the lay public may prefer anonymity; professionals don't need anonymity unless they want to cover their tracks.

I invite you to do what every other professional posting here has been doing, which is to identify yourself. You may wish to study the postings of Dr. Shawn Cahill, who is relentlessly critical, but always professional. He gives skeptics a good name. He has earned an honorary title on this forum.

Now, as to your point. I have no control whatsoever about whether this collection of forums has a search engine. I do this job on a volunteer basis, have never met the editor of the forum. I answer questions here between patients in my practice. I'm a clinician, not a technician and not a researcher.

I agree that it is hard to find things on the forum, which is why I ask people to make sure their Subject lines are content specific. In conclusion,you are definitely improving in your form. I'm confident you will continue the trend.
