Hi all,

Joyce F and I are on a internet-wide hunt for the owner/moderator

of this

message board. If anyone has any clue as to who owns this forum

please send

an email with an address. We've tried a couple of links to someone

named

and gotten no reply. I've also tried the email to

low dose naltrexone-owner so we'll see where

that gets us.

Its time to get someone moderating this message board to keep the

spammers

and zealots off...

As for the off-topic posts and article dupes...I agree that they

are mostly

helpful and I don't mind seeing them...just click delete and move

on! I

don't have time to peruse any other LDN board and I'm not using

LDN for

MS...so I find any and ALL chatter about it of interest. I might

pick up on

a thread that could help me with my particular malady... If not,

I skip it

and read on.

As for the posting of articles- I'll remind all (and I posted a

blurb about

this a couple of months

ago because we have run into this issue on the Thyroid forum I

own/moderate)...

It is against International Copyright Laws to cut and paste an

entire

article onto this message board!

(Not that there are any insidious little cyber-police watching

our every

move, but you never know!)...

The proper protocol is to type a line or two of significant interest

from

the article or website, along with a link to the complete text.

I for one

would appreciate it if we all stuck to that format. Not just for

legality's

sake but because these digests do get awfully long. If the tidbit

seems at

all interesting I always make the time to click on the link and

check it

out. Or I bookmark it for a later session.

And where the heck is Friday? You've been awfully quiet my friend!

I know

I've been busy as of late with a surgery and other stuff but we

need a peep

or two from all of our pals Down Under. Everyone doing okay?

Cheers from Up Over,

Lara
