Why it is important to stay on the LDN topic -- Manfred etc.

[Guest guest]

The discussion of dosage the last several days, in addition to

questions from new users and progress reports from longer-term users

would certainly seem to support why is important for us all to stay

on-topic, as noted in the description of this Board on it's

homepage, as much as possible.

My pleas to stay on-topic are nothing personal, nor are they simply

for my convenience as some suggested. It certainly wasn't about

simply pressing the delete button or having to read duplicate

posts. I for one do not doubt that we will never run out of LDN

related topics to discuss given that most of us are using LDN based

on Dr. Bihari's work and on anecdotal evidence, much of which is

found here.

Certainly one of the first places to send those interested in LDN,

whether they be potential patients, doctors, or interested news

media is the LDN homepage. But anyone truly interested will want to

read current discussion, questions and progress reports being posted

by new and long-term users. That means looking here.

I received several e-mails, some from people that used to post

regularly, agreeing that this Board would be a far more valuable

resource if it's users would respect the initial intent as stated in

the description when they join. Unfortunately we have lost many

knowledgeable folks that posted regularly when I first joined back

in March of this year. It seems that we lose some of those people

because of our lack of focus on LDN.

If we want to see more doctors, pharmacists and others participating

in posting, it seems reasonable that staying on-topic is important.

This is an LDN board, not an MS Board (I do have MS). Having all

the off-topic information, some of it very off-topic, with out

question diminishes the usefulness of this Board (and occasionally

it's credibility), especially if the goal is to see LDN help more

folks (not only Msers), and to see clinical trials.

If I did not think this was important I would not continue to waste

your time, or mine with this somewhat unpopular position (at least

it seems to be for some regular posters).

Sincerely,

Alan
