Dear Mary S. I could have said any better. Let us all get along and not bicker about who is right or wrong. This group of members have so much potential in learning from each other. Sometimes we forget that we can not get this type of education in the library or from the Doctors who are also limited in their knowledge. I for one has come to realize the power this group has with 3200 eyes(1300 members X 2 eyes) has to scout the frontier for new information daily and almost for free. Let us try to put our efforts into helping each other.
