Hi All,
Two points about posts:

I think we need to think about why we are putting posts on Lactnet. If I
thought that the comments that I wrote were being given to a mother, I
would not ever put a post on Lactnet. Someone puts a post on lactnet asking
for solutions/suggestions. Those on Lactnet graciously give of their time
and talent to respond with suggestions.  It is the role of the LC to take
that information and use it judiciously depending upon the needs of their
individual mother...according to a specific plan of care that they have
developed because they know the mother and have all the data.

With regard to posts that may hurt the feelings of those who posts(LC's).
Yes, we should post  professionally without direct attacks of persons.
However, I think that most people post this way. Because someone doesn't
agree with you should be OK! I think one of the values of Lactnet is that
we disagree and discuss. We don't have a lot of scientific data to support
our interventions with breastfeeding. Intellectual discussion can help us
all sort through and find truths.

IMHO!
