Hi Maggie and all Morgellons sufferers/interested parties.
I have a few requests, which I hope don't come across as too uptight.
Let's face it: Morgellons has been made to look like the domain of nutters. It doesn't help when blog entries related to it (or any subject, for that matter) have headlines WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS. It looks overly excited and actually winds up getting less attention.
Also, it's great Science Blog is becoming such a resource of Morgellons material, thanks to the likes of you. But go easy, sister! Once a week, a single thoughtful, well-written entry would be so much more helpful than rat-a-tat-tat entries.
How about this: A once a week round up, with commentary? I could live with that.
Also, and this is my problem, not yours (but you can help). Long URLs cut and pasted into an entry can wreak havoc with the site's formatting. Wrapping them in an html tag like this:
Yahoo
is much better than this:

OK. Time to get off my soapbox.
