Bert,
1. I agree entirely that this forum is probably the best one on EMR's in existence. Hopefully you view my suggestions as an attempt to make a great thing greater.
2. As welcoming and supportive as it is, I do believe that shyness or uncertainty how best to use the forum sometimes inhibits new users.
3. If I interpret your #3 above appropriately, a discussion of the logistics of making a "list" are just what I have been suggesting. If you want to discuss this or get some help from the group, feel free to say so.
4. At your suggestion, I will add my email address to my profile. All spam I receive as a result will be forwarded to you. :-)
5. "Questions, answers, comments and fun"....who could argue with that?
