I agree with Jim. If the website is in addition to the list, that could be helpful, however Iatrics already does that. I would never promote replacing the list with a website. The biggest benefit I have found with the Meditech-L list is that I become aware of valuable information or solutions that I wasn't even looking for. Frequently I learn something valuable that I would never have browsed for on a website. The same goes for responding to a question... when I come across a question I can help with, I can easily respond to the requestor or the list.. I definitely wouldn't browse a website to see if I can answer any questions.

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Julia, This is quite an interesting website, but I find the Meditech-L much more efficient in getting the message across. There are some shortfalls to the Meditech-L but I surely have no time browsing thru a topic driven website. Just my 2 cents, Jim Purvins ----- Original Message ----- From: "Julia Carter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2006 8:14 AM Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Off-Topic: Meditech Talk? All messages should be posted in plain text. HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== I just saw the reference to www.MeditechTalk.com in another message, so naturally I checked it out. First, let me make it clear that I'm not affiliated in any way with either the Meditech-L list or the MeditechTalk web site, so what I have to say is my opinion and mine alone. I'm also not sending this to the L to start anything or cause trouble, but the L is our primary tool for communication and I wanted to share my observations with all of you. The Meditech-L references on MeditechTalk struck me as negative and unnecessary. I quote: "If you were tired of receiving HUNDREDS of emails every day from a certain List, then this site is for YOU! Instead of searching THOUSANDS of DISCONNECTED emails and messages, you can search through a neatly organized website!" In a survey on the Home page, the first two answers to the question "Why will you join the Meditech Talk community?" are "Cannot find anything on the L-List" and "My In Box is too full of L-List messages". I couldn't find any responsible parties' names on the web site, so I don't know who has created it but it might be a good idea. I don't like the impression of competition between a web site and a list, though. I don't like the impression of 'negative campaigning' that these comments give. Huh. I've still been poking around on the web site and I do see that the site admin has a web site listed: Website: http://www.RPhInformatics.com. And . . . the original reference to MeditechTalk came from [EMAIL PROTECTED] So I guess RPHInformatics is the creator/owner/operator of MeditechTalk. And . . . RPHInformatics.com is still "under construction". Curiouser and curiouser. . . Julia Julia F.
