Dr. Mattox, I am one of those lurkers who is in the background reading
but not speaking out. I am a relatively new trauma nurse coordinator of
10 months but I do have 14 years critical care and ED experience and
although I feel competent at what I am doing, "I am amazed at what I
don't know". I am in the shadows to read, learn and educate myself
taking knowledge from great minds, professionals from around the world;
from Maine USA to South Africa to Pakistan to Australia, India, Great
Britain, South America and back to Chicago USA (apologizing for everyone
I missed).
To get to the point, I learn from the dialogue on this site and while I
enjoy the political banter I would agree with you that a secondary site
would be more appropriate place for it. That way I can go back to
lurking and learning about trauma while visiting the political arena at
my leisure. So if Karim would set up a secondary site I wonder how many
others would be in favor of it so we can keep this one to the discussion
of trauma. I thank you and all others for your time and dedication to
our profession. Now I shall retreat back to the shadows. Respectfully
				     Joseph A Walker RN

Subject: Karim - Political discussion

Karim:   I have a simple suggestion.   Many on this  list do like to
have a 
political, environmental, religious, economic, and many  other
non-medical 
discussions.   They like to do it with those they  know and enjoy making
happy, 
angry, etc.   Sometimes I even enjoy this  exchange, but many on the
list want 
only the purist of clinical  discussions.    We respect your oversight
as web 
master.   Thus this suggestion.

Create an alternate site, where members of trauma-list can go to
continue  
their discussions and political fights.   Those who wish to chat there
can go 
and you and others can say that such and such a discussion should go to
that 
site.      It will be on your server, just like  trauma-list but be a
secondary 
site for all of us.   Other list  servers of medical discussions have
such a 
mechanism.
