I changed the welcome message today, ..the first paragraph reads as follows: "WHO IS LACTNET? LACTNET is a vehicle for sharing professional information regarding lactation and case management. We welcome all Lactation professionals to Lactnet...including lactation consultants and educators, childbirth educators, nurses, LLL leaders, midwives, dietiticians, WIC personnel, MDs, social scientists, etc.. LACTNET is for exploration and debate of ideas about lactation and related breastfeeding issues.. and all postings should be considered as being in that spirit. Points of view expressed or counterarguments raised should never be construed as necessarily being the views of those partcipating in the discussions... etc.). Please be aware that all posts are ARCHIVED in the Lactnet computer at UMMED. Everything you say on Lactnet is retrievable by others, and will be retrievable, and searchable by keyword. If you don't want what you post to be stored locally on our archives, **don't post it.!** Just so you all are aware of this change. Thanks. Kathleen PS If anyone would like the entire welcome message again, please e-mail me and I will forward it. Kathleen Kathleen B.
