I guess that is about accurate, yes. Seems reasonable to me. We, as
volunteers, certainly cannot be personally responsible for any comments
other than our own.  We don't get paid to do this work, but offer it as a
service to those professionals interested in Lactation.

Hope that makes sense. Kathleen

"Kathleen, as I understand your post, it sounds as though mentioning a brand
name is not *forbidden* but certainly discouraged if the generic will
suffice.

If the generic does not suffice--i.e., the writer needs to specify the
brand in order to have a specific discussion, then it seems that the writer
must be willing to accept complete responsibility for any negative remarks
about a particular product.

Right? Marie Biancuzzo."
