Ron,

As you know, I am a successful "buster".  I think it is perfectly fine with DJ that the subject of alternatives are discussed on his boards, but, not everybody who could benefit with busting can use this method due to personal reasons, whether they are employment, or just personal limits that they cannot cross.   

Busting is an extremely difficult and personal decision that each clusterhead must make on his own.  It was not an easy choice for me, but I have no regrets.  As I said, I am one of the success stories.

I agree that the best way to promote the alternative methods are to direct someone to the clusterbusters site where they can get full information, rather than just our personal experiences - they get direct one-to-one help from the people who know the most about busting - rather than just our personal experiences.  This is where they should be directed.

Many of us who are using the alternatives might prefer not to advertise it publicly, but would prefer to IM (or PM) someone privately to help them.

I understand your struggle with your son and his CH and wholeheartedly applaud your efforts to promote the alternatives.  It's just that they are illegal, and many people would be uncomfortable sharing their experiences on a public forum.
