The new look for the board and old guidelines

I stop in now and then and notice that we now have many more questions and many more answers.  Even w/more questions,, I think the old guideline of one question per poster per day-altho the rules say post much less frequent postings, is still a good one.

Altho there are a dozen q's, only a few posters are posting multiple times about nothing.  the point is to get as many topics and as much knowlege and stories shared, not to have a running monologue for a few.  A few questions no one even tries to answer b/c there are no answers to non questions.  Real concerns get lost.  This comes up every few months and always caused confusion w/the newbies.  No one's pickin' on you, newbies.

Its confusing for us all, b/esp for those just starting treatment.  Me?  I don't really care b/c I tx'd and cl'd 4 yrs ago.  any lingering sx's are gone, my health is better and I don't have to play Russian roulette w/my health.

Just thinkin' about you guys and how ease of navigation and amt of info are so important.

hi, no harm no foul...well, if you wanna see one guideline, you could see the question on the top of this thread...nrrrf nrrrf nrrrf...(just kidding) but if you want to see the whole magilla real set up guidlines, just hit that black Start button on the top of this page, that'll give you all of them I think...but then I was one of those kids that was always getting slips to the principal's office because of my bad guidelineship...

No apologies needed, you did nothing we all haven't done. If you have a question ask it. The only thing is if in the same day you have more questions then just ask them in the same thread you opened. Just go down the thread to post comment and click on it. You might add NEW QUESTION in the comment to thats on the side. And if the thread is full you can always hijack another thread thats open. By doing the same thing. Please don't worry about it. Besides we used to only get around 6 new threads a day. But lately its been much more. So i wouldn't worry so much about the 2 questions every 6 month rule since were getting new threads. Just if you have more then 1 question a day tag it on to your thread or another. Your doing just fine and hope to see you post often. keeps me from getting to lonely. Take care and have a good day.
