Dear patient or lay-person searching this news group for answers to
dental questions.

We have an alternate site on an Internet forum for people to ask
questions, debate dental science, review techniques, learn about
regulatory issues, etc.

We have created this forum at:      www.scimeddentistry.com/smd

We welcome anyone (patient or dental professional)to come to this site
and discuss dental topics and concerns.  To avoid flame wars and abuse
to anyone posting to the site, there is a moderator on the site who
will remove any poster who is rude, abusive, vulgar, or posts unwanted
advertisements for other sites. Spam will not be tolerated, nor will
any Troll-type behavior.

Participating in the site requires a valid email address.  There is a
log-in process where you register and receive a confirmation email
back prior to gaining access to the site.  This is only to enable us
to eliminate those posters who are abusive to the group. So far, the
only poster removed from the group was one spammer who refused to
engage in any discussion. No information about any poster is
collected, no information is being sold or distributed to others. You
can maintain anonymity if desired. A cookie is utilized only to enable
the registration process and subsequent log-ins.

Please understand that the regulars who volunteer to be available at
this site do so as volunteers only.  We receive no compensation beyond
the opportunity to discuss our favorite topics with interested people.
No one is getting paid to be there, and we all have lives outside of
the Internet.  Although at times, that may seem hard to believe.

Please register on the site, obtain your email confirmation, and
initiate or join in on some discussion.

Sincerely,

Amatus Cremona
