This board is a mess, too much spam, not enough room to breath
This will get me in much trouble, but this board has become unusable for me anyway, so I think a bit of truth as I see it is a good parting gift.
We have been flooded with spammers, it is a common tactic on any message board and especially effective on this board because if we try to question a post, we get rebuked for being unkind to a "newbie". Now there are some newbies here and I still recognize the old timers, but mixed in with them, are so many folks, masquerading as Hep C sufferers and spamming our board.
I wouldn't even venture a guess as to whether it is Vertex, wanting to stop the sharing of info or to folks in the investment community, wanting to stop the sharing of info, but it is still a fact that THIS BOARD IS UNREADABLE, and full of new people and posts that are sometimes ridiculous, they waste our time and then they are gone.
Man, I love jmjm for his "librarian" take and I love "bug" cuz I know she's gotta be that cute, and I admire nygirl for her warrior soul. Kalio, Grand oak, Forseegood, you all know who you are, you all are the greatest. But I hate spam, I'm not Hawaiian and we cannot have a conversation here without being dumped on, too much to sort out and too much stimuli. That is the way spammers work. I am so sad, beyond anything I could put in words, that all this has happened to us.
I am old, but not resistant to change, I will find another place to post. I have to give a bittersweet salute to whomever decided to trash this place, but that is what it is like now, a beautiful place, all littered up by fools, ruining it for the people who need it most. What a ****** up way to make a living.

I'm so sorry you are having the spamming problem. I'm not getting any here where the whales use to be (Sacto). Please don't let them drive you away. Come back, it might improve with time. You have contributed a lot. We don't have to answer the people who ask totally unrelated questions like the one above about the pancreas. This is a liver forum.
My sentiments exactly. "Hi, what are the side effects of doing treatment?' WHAT? Where does one begin with questions like that? "Hello, let me introduce you to a giant named Google."
I also found this site only after several months, while doing a search.
BonnieRobin: I have an in-law who is severely dyslexic. She wouldn't write at all for years out of embarrasement. Those posters who can only write phonetically remind me of her. I have learned through my experience with her to become more tolerant of such mangling of the written language.
Have a good weekend, Bonnie :)

I didnt mean to offend the people writing in that cant spell their question and then never hear from them again. I just thought that was what Willow was refeering to...people just coming on with un-related topics not asking their question in a proper manner and never hearing from them again. Im sorry about your dyslexic relative----No intention to hurt your feelings----
Hope you know that.
Im just and always have been " The Peacemaker"
I like Peace and under these circumstances I think we all should even be more tolerant that the so called avergage person we are all sick and need each other sometimes....sometimes on a personal level..and most of the time on a medical level.
Feel Well Orphaned Hawk!! :}
Peace
