When I first subscribed to Lactnet(July 15 1999), I received a 8-page
info sheet.  On page 4, it says avoid injudicious mention of brand
names.  "In most cases, a generic term such as cylinder pump, bottle
liner...will suffice..."(p.4)  has this policy changed?  If it has, why
hasn't the hello and welcome changed?

It makes sense that at times in order to make your post clear you may
have to use a brand name.  Using abbreviations does not seem necessary.
But I really can't see discussions of products on Lactnet. But if this
policy has changed, I'd like to know.  Valerie W. McClain, IBCLC
