If there is a moderator here, please inform comments here of the items that are considered CPAP RELEVANCE?

Could you please actually read the forum for awhile before posting, or at least the responses to your own posts?

There is NO moderator here! Do you understand? The owners of the forum do not read many of the posts. They do not step in unless they get a lot of complaints directly to them. They are busy running a business. This is basically an UNmoderated forum. If you want a moderator, find another forum or create your own. Stop expecting somebody to change this forum to your ideals.

Either accept the way it is or move on.

Patients, clients, customers, students, ... ATTACK!

The comments here so far are from a tiny minority of the readers and users of this forum site.
FOOT IN THE MOUTH syndrome are from some of the other off-topic comments left by these few hot-heads.

The problem lies with the KNOW-ALLS. They do not believe in forums, open discussions, on-topic discussions. So they stay off-topic with their SHOOT-THE-MESSENGER games.

Those of us in the caring industries know this perpetual Know-All problem, who like assaulting the "obvious" scapegoat. So if a possible scapegoat has any sight of deviance from the CPAP group mind, they are chosen by the bullying minority for assault by the bullying minority. The whole of the caring industries: medical practitioners, lawyers, police, emergency services, ... are aware of this problem with very closed minded "clients". Clients, Customers, Patients, Students.

Most people, by definition, are not professional do-gooders. Society needs its real-work people. However we human resource people will always be in a minority, as it should be. Junior HRM people should always be "nice", inoffensive and "polite" to the helpees. Agreed.

Senior people, HRM or not, are usually hidden from the front-line end-users. Retired senior people like myself, no longer need to maintain our organizational reputations and our future incomes. So it may be very suprising that the true senior insights are visible to junior HRM staff, or the client end-users of CPAP products and services.

In my many decades of professional consultation with small business enterprises like this CPAP forum, they are upset that Frank & Fearless expertise is not made available to them. The psychology of why this is no possible is listed above. In financial terms however, the small business people cannot afford the resources (not just $$)) to gain reliable access to this expensive, rare information.

This CPAP forum is INTERNATIONAL, unhappily ...

I would be careful about diagnosing someone online, particularly as mentally unstable, when healthcare professionals don't even do that.

Otherwise, Julie's points are very well taken about gregzeng needing to learn how thing work first before making the comments that he did.
If you have experience & skills with on-line diagnosis, CPAP or otherwise, it is ok to share it in a forum.

Many comments here however are not CPAP relevant. No mention of anything CPAP-related is made. It is obvious to others here that is the rants of naughty children who just want to big note themselves, because they feel threatened. As an experienced counsellor, teacher, ... in my junior years before my moves to senior management, staff selection, curriculum creation, tutor-employers, etc ... these rebellious noise makers were standard & expected parts of dealing with clients, customers, students, children, teenagers, patient, etc. Hopefully some older readers of this forum can recognize these emotional immature people.

Unknown to many home-obsessed people here and elsewhere, the internet, including this CPAP forum, is INTERNATIONAL. Internet is open to all: beginners (noobs, novices, virgins, etc) and everyone up to the rank of retired expert. Sorry if so many readers here seem to not know what the internet, and this CPAP frum really is.

You also still seem to be unaware that there really aren't any moderators on this forum. The forum owner will fix problems if they are bad enough, but they do not read every day. There is no babysitter here. I believe this has already been explained many times in the past week.

Personally, I see your posts as arrogant and a bit random.
Those of us with experience of publishing in PUBLIC media, know that legal requirements do allow censorship.

Personal opinions of arrogance, randomness are ok. Thank you. I'm sorry that you cannot seem any CPAP, or CPAP FORUM interest in this thread, nor in my posts.

As you write here, and many others have hinted genuine CPAP discussion can be easily stopped or discouraged here on this forum. There are many other areas on the Internet where CPAP concerns can be discussed.

I did not say that you aren't allowed to be arrogant, just telling you why you are having such a hard time here. You treat this forum as something other than what it is. You are not here to help anybody with specific questions. You just post random "articles" with basic information that we already know. And it tends to meander a bit. Perhaps you have a book to sell?

Also, if you really have experience publishing as much as you claim, perhaps you might hire a proofreader?

" I'm sorry that you cannot seem any CPAP, or CPAP FORUM interest in this thread, nor in my posts." is NOT grammatically correct. This is not the first error. A professional author should be better at this.

A quote from the owner of the forum and his take on moderation saved for people just like you who haven't bothered to understand what the forum is, and how it works.

https://sleep.tnet.com/reference/docs/c ... moderation

IMHO, almost all of your posts are teetering on the realm of spam. They are off topic, point to non-related articles elsewhere and are full of fluff not really helpful with the topics at hand.
There are many other areas on the Internet where CPAP concerns can be discussed.
Doubtful you would survive in most of them. Any moderated forum would have locked you out after a couple of your posts which is why we don't see you on other CPAP related forums which do have moderation.

Not sure how a Retired (medical) IT Consultant with your posting skills survived in an IT environment.

To bad as a nooby, I wasn't born so smart, I fear I don't have enough time to catch up. As far as Google ads, I block all the ads from my life I can, I don't need any one trying to sell me anything, ads are missing direction or outright lying most of the time, if I want to know about something I research it, from sources that aren't looking to put my billfold in their pocket. Rule #1, follow the money or influence. Jim
