In reply to possible new registration system, posted by Dr. Bob on April 15, 2000, at 7:03:46
Dr.Bob - Perhaps a password and e-mail address before posting (neither of which have to appear in the post) could be used. We could all pre-register our passwords beforehand, similar to the way sites like Medscape or Biomednet do. This information could be held by you (in confidence, under fear of torture).About asking personal information; it would not bother me and may help in your research. The only concern I have is that registering personal information on-line makes many people uneasy. This may keep someone who really needs to find some answers from posting. Making this information optional may be a way, but for security reasons, a minimum of information may need to be required.
Hell, I'd like to know what lurking professionals (medical or legal) are using our information to make themselves money without having to do the legwork themselves.
Sincerely - Cam W.
(Dr.B. - I've said it before, you are a remarkable man. To be doing this sans advertisements and on your own time is commendable; I salute you!)
(Yeah, yeah - you do get some cool therapies to consider for your practice, but this is the least we can do for you). - Cam
