Posting Links,Helpful ...or not.
Of late there has been a lot of criticism about moderators and members posting links.
Some seem to think that this is unhelpful when answering a post. I wish to understand why you would think this as these links give up to date info on complicated subjects.
No moderator or member on this forum can be an expert on everything diabetes related but there are some very skilled researchers on here who take the time and effort to find information for the benefit of all the members .We then disseminate this info to you, the members, so that you can read and digest the info at your leisure.
We are all volunteers on this forum, giving back to the forum that helped change our lives for the better. We also have lives to lead however and do not spend 24/7 here, not have we time to dissect and explain every subject that is discussed.
Personal experience is always valuable on here but so is accurate information. It does a confused newbie no good to be given info that they then find is not up to date. This just leads to more confusion.
I give you the opportunity now for constructive criticism on how you want the info delivered on here.
