Just a reminder as to where and when this group began and what is encouraged
here and why it is not a moderated group.

I hope this will inspire some people to keep to the topic of Lyme and related
diseases and to use common courtesy in posting here.

Lots of good people put some work into establishing this site and we should
respect their efforts and help keep it a place where people will want to come
for discussion and information.
