Too many rules, and I'm gone.

An email list I'm on (for partners of people with adult ADD) has gotten to the point of being nearly unusable for me any more. The moderator has vastly narrowed her definition of what is on topic, to the point where I think it is mostly just a judgment call on her part and nothing concrete that I can understand or follow. I guess if your post isn't specifically about diagnosis, treatment, or legal actions, you're off topic? I don't know. I can't be bothered. I didn't leave the group, but I changed my subscription to web only. I might be able to get useful documents and links off the main site, after all, but if conversation is tightly restricted there is really no use in me receiving individual emails, considering that I won't be allowed to respond under most circumstances. You see, my partner doesn't like our doctor and is no longer in treatment, and we have nothing regarding legal actions going on, so that leaves me irrelevant. If we post about symptoms, actions, and reactions, it is now classified as a rant? @___@ I thought it was actually useful info for people to compare what was going on in their homes and see how others dealt with things to try to develop useful strategies. I thought the exchange of ideas was good. But like I said, when it gets like this, I can't be bothered any longer. I'm not angry, just...disappointed. No longer will it be as good of a resource for me with these kinds of restrictions. Oh well. *throws hands in air and moves on* I've probably gotten all I'm going to get from it anyway at this point, considering that right now at least treatment has been (unilaterally) removed from the list of our options. Hearing about others' treatments won't help if he won't take any himself. I guess I'll just stick with books from here on out and let the list fall by the wayside.
