As I see it, the purposes of forums is to have a central place where people of the same interests join together, particularly as the BFN gets larger and larger. I used to read all the posts on all the forums - that is impossible for me now.
I have monitored the 50+ forum carefully. Generally, there are 8 or fewer folks viewing at any one time, and those folks are almost entirely males with 3 exceptions. Therefore, it is most unlikely that many women would see a post about urinary incontinence on the 50+ forum, leaving but a few responses, as we have seen already.
However, it would be my guess (I have no clue how many women access the women's forum, as it is a secret) that a lot of women would see such a post on the women's forum, and provide a broader range of responses, which oldietandem could then forward to his wife.
Makes sense to me, otherwise, why do we have forums?
