The following additional Rule now applies to all Members:

'Any member found posting in more than one identity without the prior approval of the Administrator will immediately be suspended from the Board.'

By posting to the BB from now on you agree to be bound by this Rule.

Hey Jonh

I very rarely post from my hubbies computer but when I do my name is bobysox on that one. I always post that it is really Barb. I hope that this will be okay.

Hi All,

Well, there are some points I have to make.
1. I did not like the sneaky nature of posting two e-mails not just one to my private e-mail without asking my permission. I think he should have a little courtsey as a professional colleague to do such kind of act.
2. Good luck to him to do this kind of work, but why not come out in the whole BB rather than going behind the back of so many people he did not send without an prior agreement.

Well, I did have a look at the data he has provided, for that his work is appreciated but on the other hand the material is not original, for which he should take credit as an editor.

I said my piece and this is the end of this thread for me.

I hope that I do not get any unsolicited mail in future.

Hi Jon,

I would be interested in knowing how many people on the BB have been using aliases. Also what criteria is used to determine whether or not they can continue using an alias. It would be interesting to know how many members there are before and after the no-alias rule is put into effect, both in absolute numbers and also as an indication of how many people have been allowed to continue using aliases vs how many people have had to eliminate them.

I also think it would help to put an additional field in the profile that lets us say whether we only want private messages from within the BB or if we welcome outside private e-mails. That way, for those who do not want outside e-mails, if they get one from someone on the BB, it can be reported and be grounds for suspension. That would ensure that those of us who are fine with it can continue to get them and those of us who are not would not get them.

I want to ask here with permission from Jon, that what is the meanning of duplicate alias. If more than two persons are using same IP address. Will they be considered as duplicate name? If so, then how you will justify that more than 5000 (five thousand) registered members have unique IP address. It is not possible. If it is not possible than how it could be mannage? In my opinion only more or less 1000 members have proper IP address and rest are all aliases.

Some seniours members (who are homeopaths too) have the habit of asking question with one alias and answering the same question with his/her orignal alias. This habit was going on in the past very frequently. I fully support your decission that you took immediate step and banned Dr.MAS. But what about the others

Are BB rules only apply to Dr.MAS

If your decission is for next time only i.e. for future need then please review your decission for Dr.MAS too. Put his under observation for one month. If he behave properly then allow him to continue to work for this BB. If he exhibit the same technique then I will never say again in my life for concession for him. Thank you.

I love you. Please review the decission. You are a cool mind person. Please see all members with one eye. We can't express our all feelings due to our language problem.

Sir, I hope for favourable response.

(My IP address, I will only post my mail in future on this address: 63.100.210.188 )

WEll, before I get found out I guess I'll have to admit that I'm Dr. Leela as well as Lisa Annan. Please don't kick me off.

My dear Shashiroy,

Thanks for sending two emails entitled "ANDHERA UJJAALA PICTURES" on my private email address and enquiring about my case on cystitis on your www.homeoint.org bb.

Is it not violation of private email address. But you directly sent the files to me and not used this BB private emails system. Hence in my opinioin it is not wrong.

I am forwarding one of the the same email without any addition to moderator of this forum for confirming that if any body is contacting to any member privately and not from this BB private message system. Then it is not the violation of rules of this BB. Other wise a new PANDORA BOX will be open.

Sir, I again request you don't open any pandora box and review your decission.

on 13 feb 2002, Hans Weitbrecht forwarded the same type of email to many many many members of this BB title the more or less same subject latest virus .

But I did not claim on this bb that it is the violation of private email address system.

jon, I am forwarding that mail to you for info.

Sir, Please please review your decission. take as much time as you can in defining rules. But for the future but not to apply to past. If so then it should be for all members equally.

Will that title from hans was alarming?

But I will appreciate to hans that he posted me the info. Which was value able. We have to be remain cool and quite. We should develope confidence to fight against the evil. We should not show hurry attitude. We are doctor. We should intact our nerves and not looose them on titled.

There is already a preference you can set in 'My Profile' - "Keep your email address viewable to others when you post notes?" If you set this to 'No' then your email address is not shown when you post. That should be sufficient indication that you do not wish to receive outside emails.

I cannot stop people sending emails to anyone they wish, and you always have the delete button. What concerned me here was the number of anxious mails I received following the mails by Dr Mas.

Please note that it is NOT a violation of the Rules of this BB to send an email to someone. It is a violation "to use this BB to post any material which is ...invasive of a person's privacy". I regarded Dr Mas' use of the email addresses obtained via the BB as that in the circumstances.

I am always willing to consider representations from the person suspended; I have received none...

Dr Aamir wrote:

No, certainly not. It means what it says - one person using more than one identity, especially when they reply to themselves!! It is not a game, and one reason for the distress caused by Dr Mas was that he was already playing with Members of this Board in his postings. Why the dishonesty?

Finally, Shirley wrote:

Dr Mas had five, all eliminated. No-one else to my knowledge is abusing the system by generating replies to themselves. There are a tiny (single-figure) number who have two registrations for good and valid reason, and who do not abuse the privilege. The criteria are simple - I approve of their reason for wishing to do so, and they respect the privilege by not abusing it.

Applications, complaints and conspiracy theories to me by outside email please, not via the BB.
