Dr. Bob,
I have been informed that you have blocked DianeD from posting. I am writing this in hopes you will review your stance of blocking her. I have conversed with her through e-mail for over a year and have aays known her to be kind and supportive. I haven't read the paticular passage that led to her being blocked but I know that she was responding to people who were dubious of her stance that methadone can be safe and effective for depression in certain limited cases. As I recall, she received some rather stern rebukes to this stance. Perhaps in responding to these stern rebukes it was hard not to sound supportive at the same time. I am hoping you will review whether she was 'fanning the fire' or merely reponding the best she could with evidence in support of the limited use of methadone as an AD. I know you probably would rather not have to be put in the position of deciding who can and connot participate on the site, but your willingness to do this is what makes this site special. In Diane's case however, I believe a review of what was actually said is warrented. Thank you for your efforts and guidance.
On an unrelated note, a nonprofit site (I believe) addressed www.drugbuyers.com regularly negotiates discounts from mail order pharmacies for customers that order from the links on their site. This makes me think that mail order pharmacies would be willing to pay your site to have a link with it. The fee your site could charge may be highest if based on sales volume created for the pharmacy. I don't know what software could be used to verify the actual sales voume created though.
