Scott,
you wrote,[...You offered some good ideas..I don't trust..(DR. Hsiung)..knows enough..that a group..can represent...there is no textbook..that can keep up...It is unreasonable...best to interact without administrative editing...what guarantee..opinion..is the right one?...]
I think that by Dr. Hsiung being an expert, that his opinion trumps a member's opinion untill his opinion can be demonstrated to be false by another expert. Could not the symbol of the hand to be cautious, comming from an expert, facillitate discussion as well as hamper it?
I think that there is a growing body of knowlege concerning neuroscience and pharmacokinetics that is available to DR. Hsiung perhaps before others have it available to them and that he could have the updates available from many sources. An expert keeps up with developments in his/her field, just as ,let's say, an expert on the History of the Art and Archeology of the Near East and Mesopotamia keeps up-to-date in his/her field. New discoveries are found about the Great Pyramids, as new infomation is found about pharmacology.
Today, I saw a newspaper report about new infomation about taking (name of psychotropic drug redacted by respondant) durring pregnancy. Yesterday, I read a report about the effects of drugs like Ritilin on children. I think that DR. Hsiung is very well up-to-date in his field IMO because he publishes. As to {what guarantee}, does not Dr. Hsiung write to {trust} him? And that he writes that he does what in his thinking will be good for the community as a whole? If I was chairing a forum for,let's say, skydivers, I would want to be up-to-date on skydiving , would I not if I wanted to do what is best for the members?
