Long postings on AFRO-NETS (8)
------------------------------
Sorry about my ignorance and lack of thinking on speeds! And I had
quite forgotten the problems of breaks in transmission.

The Listings and contributions of every participant must not be same;
else monotony will cause you to lose more readers than the ones
threatening to.
I am using this forum to ask to please accept each other just the way
we are. For any discussion to be balanced, any academic forum to be
complete, there must be room for the variant voice, the other view,
it may not go well with us.
But it helps our being more objective in our judgment, especially
people from developing economies.
Thank you.

Dear Colleagues,
I am a public health researcher working in the field of reproductive
health and nutrition. At the moment I have just finished a project on
nutritional supplementation to malnourished pregnant women to see its
impact on birth weight and about to implement another project on men-
strual regulation service provision in a rural area of Bangladesh.
Though AFRO-NETS is, as I can see it, a network most relevant for the
researchers working on health problems in Africa, I became a sub-
scriber mainly to know what kind of research is going on around Af-
rica. For me this network really provides food for thought and keeps
me update about many issue which I could not have known otherwise. I
also enjoy the arguments and counter-arguments since this gives me the
feeling that I can see the whole thing without any interruption.
Wishes to you all,
Dr. Rubina Shaheen

One of the joys of belonging to a newsgroup (including AFRO-NETS) is
the short and to the point messages subscribers put on the net. I was
obviously put off by the length of the treatise in question. I
thought it was a waste of space on my system!
I am not too worried about such long postings. I know how to deal
with them! We are all trying to live in a democracy - freedom of
this, freedom of that. Allow people to express themselves in whatever
way. But you must know how to deal with whichever way if it does not
suit you.
As one of my friend puts it, the freedom of swing of your arm should
end at the beginning of my nose. If it doesn't, I should know how to
protect my nose!
