It is abundantly clear to me that no one who comments here is an acknowledged expert with legal license, or academic credentials, or mental health credentials that are recognized here as surpassing my own.  If some participants do have credentials, they remain unacknowledged and unrecognized by this site.

I understand that if I receive more than one or two complaints from others on this site, or if my comments get flagged by one of the professionals surveying this website for coming short of therapeutic standards, then my membership will be removed from Estrangers-in-the-night.com.
