Dear Group,
As a physician who uses the computer 95% for my medical practice, ASHUMG
mail does account for a lot of what I get percentage-wise.
BUT....
1. This is one of the best interactive/learning tools in my lifetime and
that includes medical interactions.
2. Deleting an item takes a microsecond
3. We all have moments when we slip or vent no a close to subconscious level
(why did I send that email).
4. We are human and prone to err and that includes levels of
appropriateness, but big deal, this is not open heart surgery
5. We should be a forgiving group on all levels. I am pretty stupid on some
issues with the computer and even the "Nerds" in our group (I am not one of
course) sometimes are flagrantly ignorant about something (can't think of
any examples right now), so I agree with Joyce, let's chill baby.
5. There, I have vented and now back to life and death matters.
Sincere regards to all,
Stephen
