I do not know what the Forum Mission Statement is, but I like this onerocklin wrote:.
If the management has a stated purpose for CPAP.talk, would it possible to make it public?

But your links are so funny, and I laughed so hard, that I forgot the crucial reason I needed the MS in the first place.
Mars, this is very disconcerting, I know I had a good reason . . .

Mars, at first I was annoyed that you've made sport of my rather serious request for CPAPtalk's undoubtedly, brilliant, life-affirming Mission Statement (MS).mars wrote:

Sorry Roc, but they are never going to respond -rocklin wrote:............................. that I forgot the crucial reason I needed the MS in the first place.

because according to the well known business school http://professor-howdy.blogspot.com/200 ... ement.html
Which means that if you have a Mission Statement you are unable to think clearly, and if you do not have a Mission Statement then you are not a good company.A mission statement is defined as
"a long, awkward sentence that
demonstrates management's
inability to think clearly."
All good companies have one.
Forum Admin, being between a rock and a hard place, will no doubt refuse to respond.
So you see, it it really doesn't matter that you have forgot why you wanted it
that is - if you remember that you forgot it

I didn't know you needed a mission statement to be one of the good guys. I don't think one is needed, this site functions as a place to learn and share our experiences with Sleep Apnea and sometimes other medical problems that are related, in a world where our normal medical providers aren't providing the info we need. The fact that it's allowed to run with the K.I.S.S., method, is what makes it a great site.
Thanks to Cpap DOT Com, for providing this site, no Mission Statement needed. Jim

Re: 001: What is CPAPtalk.com's Mission Statement?
Don't mission statements always self-destruct soon after being read/heard? Or is that only the impossible ones?
Here's the closest thing I know of:
And I'm not sure what an " online forum home" is exactly, but it sounds like a disconcerting place to live, to me. And I once lived in a double-wide trailer right next to the four-lane in Eastern Kentucky.
How the "40,000 friendly" figure was arrived at, I don't know for sure. Besides, what does that say for the rest of us who don't even try to be part of the 40,000 friendly?
And isn't "whenever" supposed to be one word, not two?
Other than that, and a few missing and misplaced commas, the good old boys down at the mission in Texas wrote a really, really nice statement, I think.
Here's the closest thing I know of:
I guess the "free" is referring to money, not time invested.CPAPtalk.com is a free, online forum home to over 40,000 friendly CPAP users! Here, you can get and give sleep therapy advice, read about industry developments, hear what people think about the latest products and more. CPAPtalk.com is available 24/7, so you can get answers when ever you need them. -- https://www.cpap.com/cpap-talk.php
