Tipsters- Not a new slip, I must say. Thus the remnants of the yearly Datona Beach warnings. What I find most interesting about that is that Michael seems to think we could "advise" our students about their choices of spring break locations OR activities. Even if I thought they'd listen I doubt the ethical links to allow us to provide such advice. (Sorry- I seem to be spending my spring break at home again! Catching up on reading. No dives from the roof to the pond.) :) Tim

Paul modestly suggested this was a simple solution to the problem,
easily arrived at. Not so. I also tried a web search, and came up
with haematohydrosis, hematohydrosis, and hematohidrosis. None of
these produced anything in MedLine (PubMed) except for a single
curious reference to a report in an "undetermined language". But as
Paul suggested, "hematidrosis" worked great.
Also of interest in Michael's post was a significant bit of
information our usually secretive poster let slip. I used it to
produce the following official notice of Michael's existence and
academic affiliation.
Under "People search" at Daytona Beach Community College;
First Name Last Name Extension Department
Michael J Sylvester [ ] Behavioral Science
Thus he lives and breathes and has an academic affiliation, bashful
'though he may be to make use of it. I hope this sets at ease those
who were worrying about this matter.
