also i cant remember if i stated so above, but superglue/medical equivalent(and stitches of course) reduce scaring(both visible and in the flesh itself).

Please don't refer people to sites - the way this works is YOU look up the info and post it. And then you post the site where you found it.

Let's ask a moderator for an opinion on referring people to other sites, shall we?

Oh, revenge reddie, by the way.

Hay Judy,I didn't know that referring to sites was discouraged.Often I will post part of a article and add the url as well but often times its a very lengthy article and then I just post the link.
Does this mean I have to stop? Sorry to go off topic here.

Argument has gone back and forth on this - one of the problems is that people who post very often can't understand what they are reading (and I am particularly referring to the legal boards) so they tend not to check the site or, if they do, misinterpret it. Usually it's more a case of "the Statute is 10 years and here's where it says that" and that seems to work for everybody.

Sometimes people are only looking at how many times they've posted so rather than put any time into the question they simply look up a site, cut and paste it and move on. Helps nobody.

I realize you've posted some very helpful info on the legal threads plus a "cut to the chase" sort of boil down and that's been helpful to people. In fact - and I can't remember what it was about - you found something that I had not seen so I learned, too.

The other problem with posting other sites is recently we had someone who made a legal argument and quoted another info board as his source. Well, when I went to the site HE wrote the answer on the other board so he was quoting himself and providing very incorrect info twice.

So it's a mixed bag - and the various boards might be different. I personally don't like to see a site without a quote.

Just so you know, healthcare in Canada isnt free. Years ago a small amount was deducted from our paychecks. That is no longer the case. Now employers bear all the cost of this system.

Please don't follow other users around just to throw your 2 cents in. It's extremely childish. Nobody said anything about justification...with the exception of you, who called into question the legal knowledge of some very prominent members, after very unwisely advising a 20-year-old to scout around in chatrooms to find someone who wants to give up their baby.

A 20-year-old girl came to the site asking about having a baby; she's unable to do so as she had her ovaries removed at 16. She felt adoption agencies weren't an option as she didn't have strong credit.

Arnimal7 told her to browse chat rooms looking for pregnant women willing to give up their baby and said it was "adoption without all the huge fees and all the legal documents."

JudyKayTee and Synnen called it terrible legal and moral advice, at which point arnimal7 said, "And for Judy and Synnen, what makes think you know the law? Obviously you don't because being a sarrogate mother is legal, and if MsPhillips wanted to have one she could. But for you two to judge people and it seems like you always do, find out facts first before saying things like shame on you!"

She then proceeded to come to this thread and tell darkvision that they don't have to justify themselves to "some of these people" on this board.

A bit too conincidental if you ask me...
