Actually, I locked the thread to begin with because there were some loopholes. I asked Danny to come see if I was wrong in doing so.
Thing is, Danny is doing this as a favor to all of us. He's coming in and giving us his information from his JOB--his career. This thread posts about something that a lot of us don't understand or know anything about. I'm stupid about all the details of Aids/HIV, and he's an expert. That's why I asked him to check it out.
Before I re-opened the thread, Danny e-mailed me and said that he would be glad to educate on the situation.
With as many false claims as people have made on the boards over time it's in all our best interest to be careful not to be taken advantage of emotionally. That's why I went to someone who KNOWS the topic, it's why I locked the thread becasue I didn't want folks to be sympathetic if the claims were false and have another "Bobhopesite" death on our boards, if you understand?
I hope this is clear why I have done what I did, and why Danny has come to educate us on something he has a career in.
