OB-GYN-L is a list for obstetricians and gynecologists and related medical professionals to discuss topics of interest in the practice of their specialty. Discussion includes journal articles, medical economics, and interesting cases. This list is unmoderated and open to all subscribers.

GUIDELINES FOR OB-GYN-L

OB-GYN-L does not accept advertisements. Questions and discussions initiated by OB-GYN-L subscribers about products and services ARE appropriate. This provides an avenue for help, hints and recommendations among the colleagues on this list.

PLEASE!!! DO NOT FLAME EACH OTHER ON THE LIST. There is a difference between healthy disagreement and downright nastiness (I can't define it, but I know it when I see it). If you have an opinion for someone send it directly to them. People may lose interest if this becomes a problem.

GUIDELINES FOR MESSAGES:

1. Always use a descriptive subject line.
2. Always sign your postings. Include your name, your e-mail address and your institutional affiliation. But don't go overboard.
3. Do not send encoded documents to the list. Ascii text only, please.
   If you wish to share a document or other encoded attachment with the ob-gyn-l readership DO NOT EMAIL IT TO the list. Instead, send it to the list administrator at ob-gyn-l-request@obgyn.net. Your document will then be placed on the OBGYN.net ftp server and an URL will be emailed back to you that you can then use to announce to the ob-gyn-l readers where they can find the document. This solves these problems:
   1. large files or emails should not be sent to a list of people without their prior consent
   2. many people's email programs can not handle attached documents
   3. it strains the OBGYN.net list processor which degrades its performance for all functions while sending out over 700 copies of this file
   4. documents must be virus checked before being distributed - there is no faster way to get 700+ people mad at you then sending out an infected document.
4. Please try to keep the "chaff" - the messages that don't need to be sent to the entire list - to a minimum. These should be sent directly to the offerer. If you are unsure how to direct your reply to the individual instead of the list, check with your local e-mail system administrators. You may have to create a fresh message rather than using a reply function. (Remember that ob-gyn-l is configured so that replies are sent to the entire list, not just the individual who posted the message.) To determine whether something should be sent to the entire list, ask yourself "Does this only involve one person, or will many ob-gyn-l readers likely be interested in my message?".
5. When sending a reply to the list, DO NOT INCLUDE THE ENTIRE PREVIOUS MESSAGE. Extract any relevant portions, if necessary.
6. Keep your postings within the scope of the list.
7. Absolutely NO Profanity will be tolerated
8. OB-GYN-L is not for asking medical questions. There are appropriate forums on the internet for patients to ask questions of physicians.

WARNING:

This forum is international and freely available to anyone with access to a computer. For your own protection, consider this in posting to the list. We recommend not mentioning patients by name or cases with identifying information.
