We (I) do sometimes forget that a safe place isn't necessarily a private place. Anything you put on a message is board is pretty much public information. A few times I've googled a particular phrase looking for information about MS, and lo and behold, what has popped up? A post from our very own boards!

You could post something really goofy, like "MS is caused by cranberries", google that phrase in a few weeks, and find your own quote! Cool! Or scary...

Actually, I've seen many posts from people WISHING that their docs would read the boards and see exactly where their patients are coming from. Sounds like there must be a balance somewhere.
