Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 What I meant by my original post is that it would be nice to have an area (like the database that was started the other night) where anyone could go when they have a question and need a quick answer. I think I am in a different time zone than a lot of you guys. So, when I get online and ask a question I usually don't get an answer until I check my email digest the next day. As someone once mentioned, most of us take this diet process one step at a time. As we read the emails we skim over the information that we aren't ready for or we just may be in a hurry. For example, I might see from time to time a series of postings on a topic but I'm in a rush, or have a child pulling at me or my child has not had that problem since we've been on the diet so I don't pay attention. Then in the middle of the night we have the same problem that needs immediate attention but no one is online for an immediate answer. I could check the FAQ section because I remember that others had asked before but I don't remember the answer. I know you can check the archives but sometimes I can't find things I know should be there. I guess I use the wrong phrase or words etc.. Also, my other example is the Walmart zip file or the information (I think -- sorry) sends out to a lot of newbies when they ask her about rotation or meals etc.. This has come up several times. Yes, newbies need lots of support, help and more personal contact and information. I'm not new and I still do. But, I only have so much time in the day and on the computer. It takes time when say 10 or 12 people ask you to send something to them (especially if you are as computer challenged as I am). All you would have to do is say, I'll post it to the FAQ section and everyone can go there and get it themselves. I hope all of this makes sense. I was just trying to find ways to save time and energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 On the GFCFkids yahoo site there is a section where you can post files, this would be a great place to post the Walmart file or any other files that need to be shared. If anyone is interested in placing files on the GFCFkids yahoo site, please let me know and I can assist them.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 What we do on the enzyme list is to periodically post the main documents in the Files section for the benefit of newer people that either do not know they are there or cannot access them directly. We put " FILE: whateverName " in the subject so people who have already read it will know it is just a repost and can skip it. The other thing is if there is a specific question, say, on magnesium or mixing suggestions, from a new person, someone will email them the needed file personally and post a reply to this effect with any other comments they want to add. It seems to be working well, and is a compromise among all the options. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
