why would my post about my pancreatectotomy and issues be removed

September 19, 2002

To whom it may concern:

I posted a message yesterday concerning my feelings about my 13 hour

pancreatectotomy,splenectomy,appendectomy,auto-islet transplant,my

reasons for not posting lately,the lawsuit stemming from my auto-islt

transplant,as well as an offer to answer any questions about my

surgery,complications,etc.

I will again offer that anyone may write me at AMSB1986@...

and I will answer any questions that I can.

I also wrote a few sentences about my friend,who is having a

difficult time and was removed from posting.

I explained that I have been having complications from my surgery and

haven't been able to post,so I asked if there were new regulations

that I was unaware of. Instead of answering my concerns,it appears

that my post was deleted before others could read it, and I wasted

time writing it that I don't have.

One question would be;Are people's posts being removed from this

message board,and if so,why? That never occurred in the past as far

as I know and it's very upsetting. I would like to see what other

people are posting without them being censored as well as myself not

being censored,not only because I have said nothing wrong, and used

no derogatory language, but others have no right to decide for me

what I post or read.

I feel it was wrong to remove my post. I feel as a member,that like

everyone else I should be able to discuss whatever is on my mind and

politely ask questions about things that I may have missed out on.

Hopefully,all will be able to read this post.

Love and prayers,

Amy

Hey Amy,

I actually got to read your post yesterday. Must have gotten deleted

after I read it cuz it is not there. Maybe it was too many words?

Your friend you wrote about has been posting lately so he is still

around. Go to the message board and put his name in the search box

and you can find his posts. I don't know if he told you that awhile

back but I don't get to read all the messages and maybe I missed

something. Anyways, he is still posting...have you wrote to him

personally? If it is the same person I am thinking about. Well

Don't worry yourself with why they may delete some and not others,

maybe we are not seeing something and they confused you. If it keeps

happening I guess talk to Karyn. Talk to ya later,
