I understand the concept of archiving. I think on many topics it will be very useful, e.g. Noa's thyroid/depression links.
Specifically, because at least so far I have used the board for medication issues, looking in files would, I think, satisfy most of my needs, if the information is there. Some of the meds I've tried recently, however, are so new, I don't think there is enough information to archive them (e.g., provigal). So then I assume I come to the board and ask if I have any questions or any experience that I want to share.
But what about a person, for instance, not knowing whether to go into the hospital, or not knowing whether to change pdocs. Do they get sent to the links board to look up "going into the hospital" or "changing pdocs", or is the human element still going to be there to say, yeh, I hear how scared you are, etc..."Should I assume that this will still be here for people? That the main board will function similarly to how it is functioning now, and the links folders are the research option?
A couple more questions. Suppose Noa leaves the board for a while and some new information comes out about thyroid and depression. Who would update it? For that reason do we really want to put people's names on the folder title, or is it enough that each link is assigned to the person who set it up?
Maybe how people use the archives vs the board will just happen organically. Maybe you can forget all my questions! shellie
