regarding the presentation...
unlikely as it may seem to be what if it does go horribly badly for one or more posters?
what if an old p-doc is there?
what if someone decides to be a bit 'blatent' or 'irreverant' or 'downright nasty' or whatever? what if someone asks questions seeking to establish that a particular poster doesn't really know anything about medications yet they respond to other peoples medication queries... what if they decide to soothe their ego that 'self-help' support boards perpeptuate misinformation... you might have a lot of faith in posters abilities to handle themselves but what if some people find the whole thing to be distressing?
never mind?
i just wonder because...
people seem to be doing this because they want to meet you and they want to please youbut you look out for the boards as a whole...
not particular individuals...whereas ethics committees make sure you are looking out for the particular individuals...
why can't you just write a paper?
i'll admit the very idea makes me shudder
'and here we have exhibit A'
i don't know...
