Greetings,
First, I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this forum since it began in Feb, 2008. As a result, this forum has become an incredible resource for those looking to understand the principles and guidelines of healthy living. In addition, I want to thank those who have complied with the guidelines I initiated one year ago, November, 2011.
Thanks!
Second, starting January 1, 2013, I will be changing the way the forum operates. As with the Star McDougaller Forum, I will be limiting replies and comments in this forum to myself and the original poster. If you wish to comment on a particular post or topic please feel free to do so in a new thread as a question to me in this forum or as a general post in the Lounge, where others can discuss it with you.
To answer some general questions about the forum and the way it has operated the last year and going forward...
1) I can not give specific personal health advice to anyone in an anonymous public forum. If you post such a question, I can not respond and/or may move the post to another appropriate forum where you may find others willing to discuss your situation.
2) Please familiarize yourself with the forum and the discussions that have already taken place. There are several threads at the top of the forum that point to previous discussions (Hot Topics, FAQ). In addition, you can easily find almost any topic by typing in a few key words, highlighting my forum and also "JeffN" as the author. In addition, you can do a google search using the words "Jeff Novick" and the topic of interest and you will not only be linked to discussions in this forum, but also to discussions at my website and/or other websites, or to youtube video's or other blogs I have written on the topic. Please make sure you have done this before posting. If not, I may remove the post or move it to another appropriate forum where you may find others willing to respond or discuss the topic with you.
3) If you are not the original poster in the thread and you post a reply, your post will be removed from the thread.
4) I will be trying to clean up and better organize the Hot Topics thread and if anyone wants to help, you can send me links to your favorite discussions on any important topics you have found helpful.
5) By posting in this forum, you agree to these guidelines.
Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.
Thanks
Jeff
