> if you don't feel comfortable with the sites posted then you should base your decision on that. If you decide in that direction, (and I'm hopeful that you won't) there will still be posters who ask for sites and give out their e-mail addresses so they will get the information anyway, I imagine. And I hope that will be okay?
Sorry, but if I didn't want people learning from this site how to do something illegal, then I think I'd have to say that asking for -- or offering to give out -- that information would *not* be OK, at least not here.

> Gee, that's too bad if we have to have a censored site here. One of the things I have liked here was the openess, the sense that everything was on the table to be discussed. It's hard for someone who's never been depressed to understand, the desperation that people have who's depression is not under control. That's what stimulates the discussions of foreign meds, and 3 posters that I know of have been helped by them.
I agree, it's too bad, but this site has already been "censored" for a long time. The question now is where to draw the line, not whether to draw one.
I understand that some people are desperate, but (1) I don't think the answer is necessarily to do something illegal, (2) if someone did decide to do that, they could ask elsewhere, and (3) discussion of the medications themselves would still be fine here.
