I have noticed this for quite a while also.

Dean -- you wouldn't necessarily have to get a yahoo or hotmail free e-mail address -- you could read and post from the web page - that is what I do -- and then my mailbox isn't full of stuff.

I just keep http://forums.obgyn.net/ob-gyn-l/index.html#archives bookmarked and go to that to read and post messages.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
