I agree with what you say regarding letting it be a place for anyone to come and learn about CHs. I think that many of us feel that way. But I think that the point of this being a CH-only-topic board is to keep the focus in place concerning what works for some and what all the intricate details are to CHs. I, for one, don't use the board to get any support, but merely for a more educational purpose. However, I am there to give support. And for the support end, in my opinion, I don't think that it would be such a shame to let other chronic-pain sufferers seek support from us by letting them vent on the board. It's the finer details of CH-only information that I would prefer not altered. And I think that it's great that your mom, and maybe your coach, would read these posts. No better way to let people know about them so we don't have to face the "I don't want to hear it. I come to work with bad headaches and so can you" from our bosses.
