I know. :-( If you have any ideas as to how it could be streamlined, I'm all ears (or eyes, as may be the case here)...

I could gripe, but to be fair, informed consent is important even if something isn't considered research (whether it needs to be so explicit is another matter), and it may be something new for them to approve a process that (1) is completely electronic and (2) allows people to be anonymous.

> Also, I'm getting paranoid about my screen name now! But as Phillybob says more eloquently in the post above from February, I have nothing to hide, my comments and contributions are real and from the heart...

This board wouldn't be anything without you contributors! Still, I do want your decision to participate to be an informed one.

If people decide not to continue contributing because they learn something they weren't aware of before, that's too bad for the board, but OK with me. What I don't want is to lose people just because it's cumbersome!

That is in fact what this board is all about. But I don't think it requires people not to care about their privacy...

So far, about 60...
