Please provide a synopsis as per forum rules.

G'day Bob,

Is this the Rule of the Forum you are alluding to ? Just so we are all perfectly clear !!

"2.Reposting. Please don't repost entire articles from other sites. To initiate a discussion about an article, post a link to the article, quote a bit of it if you like, and include your own comments or questions so people know why you think it's worthy of discussion."

Well thats fine and dandy ........ but ...... that only talks about a 'discussion of an article'. A goodly number of posts on here lately are 'information only' items. So I assume 'information only' links from other websites are exempt from this rule.

Fer instance ............ I assume its OKay to post a link and put in FOR INFORMATION ONLY and leave it at that. Certainly I for one just don't have the time to read an article ( many from research establishments here and overseas are quite lengthy) then make a synopsis of it. To blazes with that. I'd rather not post at all and thereby deprive the AF community of most likely useful info.

And that initself leads to another query ...... it might work like this, the scenario might be ........... a reader sees a link that they think is of interest to another reader who has previously commented on the topic, say "AF and digestive issues". Can that link then be sent as a PM to that other individual ? Or is that against the statute book too ?

I noticed "Paulbounce" put a post on here but it was deleted. He may have done it himself or AF may have done it. It would have been interesting to see what he had said about Eliquis.

John I never open links I don't know well due to risk of corruption. Add in most demand that you "join" or accept cookies etc. I have enough junk hitting my computer daily already without additional clutter. It has always been convention that if you gave a link then you also gave a synopsis but newer members seem to not know this.

[Hidden in reply to BobD]

Thanks Bob,

Well I certainly was never aware of that convention ....... mind you I don't put links on very often anyway ..............that said, for me anyway ... it's more than enough for me to not place any links into a post that I may put on. I certainly don't have that amount of spare time available to conduct a synopsis of whatever the link subject is.

Hi John.

I hope all is good with you.

I deleted it myself as the link only worked if you have a Yahoo email address - most forum members are likely to have a gmail account and would not be able to link to it. Therefore it seemed pretty pointless leaving it on as people replied asking how they could access it. It had a few articles on including the one MJZaw has posted about Eliquis. There was also an article about 'women and ablation' which would have been of interest to the ladies on here. I tried without success to try and link another way so deleted it. With regards to cookies - I too don't want them on my computer. However they are easy to delete. I always go to history (click the the 3 dots top right) select history and then click on 'delete history and cookies' last hour option. A quick Google shows how to do it and it takes a few seconds once you have done it a few times and get used to it. You can delete all cookies and history on your computer clicking 'all time' but this means you have to log in to all your accounts again. I do it from time to time but make sure you have all your passwords to hand.

Hiya Paul,

My thanks for the trouble you took to reply. I must say I'm a lazy (but TBF also a busy ) computer user so Cookies doesn't get much attention from me. I take your point and have given my hand a slapping !! 😱😱😱 Have also started down the route you suggested.

hope you are well ... and stay that way.

Thanks John. I hope you are well too and have a great weekend - cookie free 😀

third article has a slightly misleading headline as it is comparing anticoagulants to warfarin and aspirin, so other drugs. It doesn’t consider watchman or left appendage clip.

Good news nonetheless that protection was found to be relatively high at 67%.
