Dentistry and the Internet

s.c.madden@comcast.net - 19 Sep 2005 17:06 GMT There seems to be competition between news groups and dentalboard websites.
I do not understand this mentality. Shouldn't the focus be on exchanging information ACROSS newsgroups when possible? ISn;t the internet supposed to be free exchange of information?
I am not sure why dentists seem to want to limit themselves to one news source only....
Any comments?
Respectfully,
Sue
Roy Brown - 19 Sep 2005 18:59 GMT I don't like redundancy. Copying from one to another does not serve any real purpose. X posting to different groups makes sense on occasion. For example when there is a group focused on a specific medical condition. That population group has dental needs that might be affected by their condition and the dental community needs to better understand those needs to deal with them efficiently.
Consider the real news as an example. I can watch it on TV or listen to the radio. Catching both, I might get different viewpoints. The source skews the topic. Quite frequently you will get a different perspective between the BBC,CBC and CNN. Watching the news on television that is merely a rebroadcast of the radio with no video is foolish, don't you think.

The same applies to dentistry.

Reply. I agree. I do not like redundancey either. The reason I ask is because a lot of people say that another dental website where i post occasionally, is very biased in some of thier opinions.
Therefore I was hoping to get opinions from both sites on some of the same issues. I was cross posting a little. I thought I was doing so in a repsonsible manner, but now I understand that most people do NOT appreciate that.
I should have asked if I could do that. It didn't even cross my mind that it might be a bad thing... SORRY. I think I understand now.
It is a loss of control by the poster and a fear that someone may try to use their words out of context to make a point that is not relaly the point represented by the original poster. And the orginal poster is not there to set it straight if there is misrepresentation.

I amazes me how dense some people can be. Everyone complained about having their messages crossed over into DC, but you think it is okay to cross them into DT, despite the fact that most of the posters here told you we dislike DT more than we did DC.
Are you sure you are not Joel?

OK. I have been pretty nice to you so far. But since you conitnue to harrass me after I apologized.. here goes:
I was not listening to your petty little arguments that you have with others outside of SCI med. I do not focus on that sort of PETTY CRAP.
I think about what is good for the larger picture..not someone else's petty insecurities, especially when I know what I am doing is legal and aids information exchange that can be helpful for more people than me, you or your few friends here.
Now you have pointed out to me that you do not want us to cross-post. I said FINE. I have apologized and WILL NOT DO IT AGAIN. Now please get the bug out of your arse.
Thanks. Let us move on.

And sometimes, Sue, the unsuspecting OP gets blasted by irate posters who barrel-a.s in here like bulls in a china shop and just get pissed off and piss people off because we don't cow-tow to them, like they do on their product-sponsored web site over there where the advertising money keeps the thing going 'cause otherwise, it gets too expensive.

There are no fancy bells and whistles over here. Just people who want to be here and who have an interest in sharing knowledge.

Sue - 23 Sep 2005 18:52 GMT Hey Bill ever hear of this? Jerk (definition below)
I am working in collabroation with Peter Walsh, doing a study to determine which dental board has the highest number of these. He is indirectly using the nerves in my head as a measure!
This study will be carried out at the physics and aeronautical labs out in Philly.
The premise is: The number of jerks correlates precisely with headache pain. At the same time the amount of amalgam in my mouth will be accurately measured.
I am the first test subject. We plan to get a minimum of 300 subjects. THEN we can make a 3 vector plot: amalgam vs pain threshold vs number of jerks. From this we will be able to deduce the faradaic properties of AMALGAM and whether there is a true clinical effect on nerve activity in the head!
*********************************************************************
Def. Jerk
In physics, jerk (in British English, jolt), also called surge, is the derivative of acceleration with respect to time (or the third derivative of displacement). Yank is mass times jerk, or equivalently, the derivative of force with respect to time. Jerk is a vector, and there is no generally used term to describe its scalar value.
The units of jerk are metres per second cubed (m·s-3). There is no universal agreement on the symbol for jerk, but j is commonly used.
Jerk is used at times in engineering, especially when building roller coasters. Some fragile or precision objects can be safely subjected not only to a maximum acceleration, but also to a maximum jerk.
Higher derivatives of velocity than jerk also exist, but they are rarely necessary, and hence lack agreed names. Many suggestions have been made, such as jilt, jouse and jolt.

Our count is approximately 4 true jerks so far on DT (names withheld of course) 0 true jerks on Dcom 0 true jerks on SMD

No Joel. I was not proposing a gateway. I was just having fun with Bill. I was just making nonsense up. That is how I vent.
I got hammered by some on DT again (a few days ago). They have not banned my newest ID yet though. Some of the people there are REALLY against me. I have never had a conversation with most of them, yet they make very disgraceful accusations. I have no idea why they think I am some sort of evil person out to destroy their board.

letsconnect2 - 20 Sep 2005 01:39 GMT (a) people may have been expelled from other groups (b) people may not have the time to read more than one group (c) people may choose a group based on the attitudes and ideologies of other group members (d) people like the sense of 'belonging' that goes with being a member of a particular group etc. etc.
IF the exchange were across all news groups/websites, there would be no opportunity to form groups and alliances, and it would take too much time to read through it all. Having said that, I did like the dentalcom.net gateway, because I prefer the graphic interface.
I also prefer not to be quoted across groups, unless it's quite obvious that they're interlinked (e. g. medkb or the dentalcom gateway). They're separate entities with their own psychology.

The idea of opening a gateway from DentalCom to SMD was mine. If it caused anyone any real trouble, then I apologize for your inconvenience. Justin, the fellow that runs DC was good hearted enough to enable the add-on that tied DC to SMD, or any other NNTP feed for that matter. Since this gateway was causing problems, the decision was made by Justin to shut it down. In other words, the gateway was an experiment and chances are you'll see more and more of them as time passes.
With that said; don't count these "gateways" out. Public newsfeeds are just that, public. FWIW, I took the time to post this message from a Blackberry, via RSS, tied to Google. Sheesh! Who cares what avenue someone takes to get to SMD? Give it a rest.

[quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >experiment and chances are you'll see more and more of them as time >passes. In fact, the blame can be shared three ways, Bill, Justin and me. To tell you the truth I was very surprised at the reaction. I guess we had some initial problems with dropping off what we are replying to .... as DentalCom works a little different than it works here.
Second, there were a ton of new posters, not from DentalCom but from somwhere. That gave us more bad press.
Third, Justin took it the wrong way. He is a very good guy and did not deserve the flak. Now me? If someone dislikes me I can understand that!

Give it a > rest. If there is no cross posting, and my own NEWSREADER (ascii code reader) can read it, I don't see any problem. It _IS_ evident, however, that there is at least _ONE_ forum admin out there who looks down on the SMD.
Those people, I do NOT want to see.
