It's no secret that many new members are arriving here at NT, and we welcome all to our stable, well-managed and expertly-run cyber home.

We are very fond of DocJohn, our fearless and knowledgeable leader, and out of respect for him and the greater NT community please read me out on this.

Above all, this is a medical information message board and it's important to me that we don't tromp too hard on this place and its mission. In the interest of a healthy respect for DocJohn and other newbies who may be at first overwhelmed, will you all please help me in keeping the fun stuff in the Social Chat forum (similar to the "greasy spoon" located in the old hood)? It is located here: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum35.html

We have many members here inside the MS forum who are not familiar with the old neighborhood and I hope that you all will join me in resisting the urge to hijack threads or bash that place around here (tempting and difficult as it may be).

I like it here very much and would feel terrible if we caused anything to change. Look around the main index, there are mountains of forums and tons of great people around every corner.

Again, Welcome to NeuroTalk!
