Allan,
Maybe it would have been better if I had
titled the subject as "List Etiquette". I had no problem with your
postings but over the years I've seen some fairly vicious flamewars break out on
the list over seemingly trivial issues. My post was directed at
nobody in particular. I was more or less reminding the general
population on Flightmed that this is an open list. Unfortunately, there
can be no "what's said on flightmed stays on flightmed" code with a listserve
forum....
A lot of the impressions that people get of EMS
providers in general and air-medical specifically are what they see, hear
or read about us and the flightmed list may be the only exposure some may
have. For those people, their perception is their reality.
Believe me, I can get wound up and
breathe fire as would be expected of a former Special Forces sergeant but
it is never for public consumption on the Internet. I have had many issues
of my own with vendor support in the past but I take the specifics to the back
channel.
The bottom line is that if we keep our
communications on this list professional in tone and presentation, there should
be nobody that feels a need to omit or hide their names and organizational
affiliation.
