Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Hi everyone... I woke up this morning to find this request sent to me personally.. " Any chance that you could strongly request/demand that whenever someone posts info they must provide a link? I'm just about at the point with Jerry's posts to ignore them, as there's no way to confirm what he shares. It's useless, to me, and I'm guessing to others, to not be able to confirm information that is so important. Example below. I've searched for over 20 min. trying to find this article on how to inhibit bone loss. " That is a valid point. If your sharing information- please tell us where you found that information. Like a scientific researcher- you have an obligation to list your sources- we don't need a formal set of footnotes- though if you have the time and inclination- go for it. I also realize that such documentation is not always available for many of the articles floating out there. If that is the case, the bare minimum should be a reference to where you got the article that you are reposting. If you notice on my posts- the beginning of the title, in is the source of where I got the post originionally. It is the least we can do to give credit where credit is due. There is a lot of good information on the internet, but more than once when trying to share articles with friends and family they dismiss everything citing internet hoaxes and the lack of accountibility for what is posted. If we want to be taken seriously then we have to do our part to post information responsibly. Thank you, Misty L. Trepke www..com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
