The recent volley of messages about "favorite web-sites" has been an
excellent example of information sharing and also highlighted some
difficulties of posting messages. There have been two perisstent problems
with these messages:
1. please identify yourself by name and e-mail in your message as not
everyone's e-mail software shows the originator, and
2. when replying to a message please remove the previous headers - the "To",
"From" fields confuse the list-server as to the destination.
Both of these points were included in Tuesday September 10th's "Working
guidelines for posting", and bear repeating because they are constant
problems for subscribers and for the facilitators of this list-serv.
Regarding the first point about identifying yourself, my own e-mail system
does not reveal the sender (the "From:" field only indicates
"owner-click4hp"), which makes it difficult for me, as one of the
facilitators, to follow up with the original sender, unless that person
signs their message and includes an e-mail address. It's appreciated that
several participants on this list asked for more clarification. Thanks to Ed
Blonz for identifying John Studach, whose e-mail address for those of us in
the dark, is <[log in to unmask]>. Then we received another unsigned
message asking for feedback to the sender on nutrition (reliefnet) and
smoking cessation - later revealed to those of us without systems that can
see original senders as: Chuck Tedesco <[log in to unmask]>
Respondants can choose whether to answer the query directly to J. Studach or
C. Tedesco or to share "best web sites" here.
On the second issue, we had a message bounce back unposted as it had
contained a header. The following is a copy of that message:

Some [mostly Canadian] web-sites that I [Alison Stirling] use:
Ontario Prevention Clearinghouse (OPC) - our web-site has quite a few leads
to other health promotion sites:
http://www.opc.on.ca
Health Resources List , an excellent general health site maintained by Tom
Flemming at McMaster University's Health Sciences Library in Hamilton,
Ontario
http://www-hsl.mcmaster.ca/tomflem/top.html
The Health Communication Unit at the University of Toronto Centre for Health
Promotion:
http://www.utoronto.ca/chp/hcu/
The (Canadian) National Clearinghouse on Tobacco & Health - many good
resources and links
http://www.ccsh.ca/ncth/
The Tobacco Control Archives (California) Its purpose is to collect,
preserve, and provide access to papers and unpublished documents relevant to
tobacco control issues primarily in California.
http://galen.library.ucsf.edu/tobacco/
The Organization for Nutrition Education - lots of good links
http://www.hwc.ca:8080/one/LINKS.HTM
Physical Activity, Recreation and Active Living in Canada - most links are
to organizations
http://activeliving.ca/activeliving/index.html
Well-Tech Net : a listing by source and subject of many lifestyle-oriented
health on-line links including exercise/fitness, nutrition, smoking
cessation and self-care.
http://www.welltech.com/net_connect/index.html
It's a start. I'd like to see some more discussion about the uses of the
Internet for consumer health information. Perhaps over the next two weeks
we can explore these areas in more depth.
