Of course in theory there wouldn't need to be a fee, but I do think sometimes you get what you pay for. Rather than an extension of Psycho-Babble, I was thinking of an official department service -- for which we could charge a fee like we do for our other services.
> I would vote for a definite change of format. I think it might be better to have someone wander around the board for a few hours, contributing where he/she wanted, disagreeing with what had been written if they have a different opinion, etc. Sort of a professional babbler for a day.
Hmm, I like that! A few hours is kind of a lot to ask, but it wouldn't hurt to try. Thanks for the idea...
> It would be nice for a doc familiar with us to discuss cutting edge techniques, advances, thoughts, strange drug combos, etc. You could have a big disclaimer, of course.
> Someone like Ivan Goldberg comes to mind.It's getting a doc familiar with you that would be the tricky part. But I can ask Ivan, he might be tickled that he was specifically requested. :-)
