I dont remeber him here last year either...the first I can remember from
him was last August then nothing for a long time..I guess he was a
Lurker..he didnt sart saying he was OBGYN /RE till this Jan.I agree he
should show his crudentials to Ms Barbara Nesbitt like she asked him
too..Maybe they will make him a true part of OBGYN.Net then
Like they have on the pregnancy forum.
Well I will be back here in a few weeks...all this is getting to
me..(sigh). Maybe things will calm down then.
Thanks again everyone,Dona
