Hi bluesky and xo (nice to see your names again!) --

I don't believe there was a problem about the Kurtzke citation. The problem was the first post in the thread, which has since been deleted.

It was a fairly long page of text that turned out to be a verbatim copy (minus the diagrams) of a page from the Paul Jones Website. Paul Jones probably did write it.

Some people here were disturbed that it had been posted here with no indication whatsoever of the source. It looked as if Cherie (clinical1) had written it.

It seems like a good idea to me to keep attention to sources (and their dates) uppermost in our minds when posting on an MS message board.

I often go back to a cited source to see what else I can find out or to clear up questions I have.

Citing a source is not only the fair thing to do--it's very helpful to those who are reading the posts.
