Forum Suggestion - Topic Sections

[jnk]

I just had a really scary thought:

I may not be able to sleep tonight worrying about that one.

Wow, you guys are passionate about this subject. I am a newbie and I like the forum the way it is. I have learned so much with the free-for-all style.

To the original poster, on a serious note: As others have mentioned, there are other sleep apnea forums on the Internet that are categorized as you describe. I posted to one of those before I found this one and was lucky to get a response in a week. It seems the more categories on a forum, the fewer responses a person gets when they need help and the longer it takes to get a response. Very frustrating!

There are a lot of people here who are generous in giving their time to help, so questions are answered much faster here--minutes or maybe hours, rather than days (or not at all). I think having everyone on one page, so to speak, helps with that. If you still need more information after getting answers to a question, posting a reply will push your topic back up to the top of the list and encourage dialogue.

I am relatively new but read a lot here. It is great to learn about different types of equipment, masks, and overall experiences from people who have been using PAP treatment for many years as well as those just starting treatment. It also helps to know there are many others out there coping with the same types of issues and that there are solutions, not just problems, in dealing with this serious medical condiion.

The one change I think would be helpful here would be a separate section for things like meetings and in-person support groups, if they exist, as that information can get lost on a fast-moving board. I was so excited when I first started on CPAP therapy to see a meeting in my area listed as the newest posting in a section on sleep groups on another forum that appeared to be coming up, until I realized the announcement was two years old. I doubt that would happen here.

Thank you to all who provide serious answers as well as contribute a sense of humor here, both of which are greatly needed in dealing with sleep apnea issues and treatment. And thanks for keeping us all in one place, instead of split up into a multitude of different sub-forums.

Edited: Please disregard this post. As evidenced by the posts that followed, it is clear that some inmates are now running this previously sometimes sane asylum, or at least this thread. I'm sure the original poster is long gone. I don't know what I was thinking when I posted a serious reply to this topic.

Why am I the only person on this thread to be moderated?

If my name is to stay on the list of moderators, you are going to stop this unilateral editing. MarylandCPAPer's comments about the rooster and the parrot should have been left in!!

[jules]

Can I get a copy of the new rules for moderators?

I am sure that my connection was having enough problems last night having used Cablevision in NY and you sending it on ABC. Someone pulled the plug that it didn't come.

I have now regrouped and am using my local internet and my connection is great. However in case of tsunami's (that last one was only about 5 inch max in this country) I can lose internet again. I must however remind you I am limited by 10 GB bandwidth each month so please edit it to a reasonable size.

Thank you Muffy for all your work on this matter. I am sure someone out there must appreciate it but I have no idea who. Maybe you can get an Academy Award or a Nobel Prize in Children's Literature for your efforts. I understand there are new Nobel Prize's in Children's Literature awarded often now as my father in law has been anticipating his for several years now.

Gee, I don't know what to say. I finally get up the nerve to post here and the rules change.

My post appears to be the only one moderated.

I suppose I will have to go to another forum. At least I got one answer after a week at one.

We aim to please - sorry if we have a bad aim!

This internet thingy - will I ever get a grip on it?

[jules]
