Yahoo Groups servers are really acting up. It has taken me almost an hour to

approve 6 posts, mostly due to Yahoo issues. But when one gets to look at each

post 3-4 times, one really appreciates the posts that are ready to go.

Thanks to everyone trying to make the moderator's jobs easier.

Thanks for saying thanks, Bennie.

,

From someone who was a logistics officer and had to research six thousand

medical support items and what different people call the same thing: dressing,

band-aid, or wrap. That is why we could not bring thing up so I was assigned to

go through the whole inventory and make sure a band aid is a band aid and not a

1 x 2 dressing. It was an interesting project as when the Colonel and I got up

and went to the warehouse and went through each container, all their little

light bulbs came on.

You cannot list an item, the quantity or cost if you do not see it for yourself.

They thought it funny two officers doing enlisted jobs but both the Colonel and

I had been prior enlisted so we just laughed and said you do not lose you

knowledge when you become an officer. The funniest thing that happened was I

dropped a big box of condoms on the floor and the Colonel and I were counting

condoms out loud and the staff had some entertainment.

The point: It had to be done right to represent what you are wanting and you

have to use your brains and sometimes the process is simple and obvious. I know

this is tedious and frustrating so that it why I said thank you as you guys make

sure the information is understandable to each member and with pain fog, it is

hard to think logically sometimes but want to make a point.

Thanks again. Yes, Yahoo is messed up on my dog rescue group also.

Moderator's note:

All posts are reviewed. This is to keep the junk out such as spam. It is also

to keep posts that inflammatory or insensitive out so that this is a safe place

to discuss our pain and related issues without fear of being " flamed " or

ridiculed.

We add moderator notes when we feel appropriate. For example, this post. Or

when we feel someone has misspoken.

We try to spell check all posts. We do some minor editing or rare occasions but

those are usually only typos. If someone writes " lain " instead of " pain " . Or

they use an abbreviation " unc " instead of " uncle " or texting term like " l8r "

instead of " later " .

If there are too many spelling errors or the post is some how does not meet our

standards, we return the posts to be corrected and re-posted by the sender. If

the posts are clearly spam, we just delete.
