In all fairness, we don't have much of a way to solve that last one (although we are working on it) but for many it's easier to reach out to a student than to an adult directly.

Then why not create a platform that uplifts existing sources of information instead of creating one that fractures it? How do you expect that perceived problem to be solved?

Also since you haven't responded to my previous inquiry yet, would you consider what I just said to be "flaming"?

I thought I explained in my previous post; F4 Connect will also put people in contact with resources other than students. I'm not sure how that's fracturing, maybe you could elaborate?

I consider "flaming" to be any post or part of a post that does not add to the thread and is derogatory. There have been "flaming" posts, both mild and harsh, in this thread. I've PM'd you to avoid derailing.
