• If you'd like to post or comment with an on-line article or article section, please quote the entire section pertinent to your point, as well as provide a link to the original source. (We ask that you quote the whole selection in order to preserve your reference should it no longer exist on the original site in the future). • As a general rule of thumb, always credit your sources clearly. • It's nice (though not required) if pay attention to your typing, spelling, grammar, and syntax, that they are acceptable. Edit your entries as practical, but when changing the point of your post, or making any other significant change to something already posted, it's courteous to mark boldly that it is an <b>Edit</b>, so as not to confuse people. • When posting a longer text (of your own, or a quoted source) or an oversized image (generally with a width of more than 500 pixels) please be courteous and use an <lj-cut> tag, defining the text appropriately. • Please do not post without a relevant subject line. • If you do not like how this community is run, you are welcome to find another. This is not the place to advertise another community or a product nor seek medical advice. If you have a general or personal medical question, please post to |
