Dear John,

I don't think that your stance sounds 'narrow minded' at all! I quite agree that the site, a very valuable resorce, should remain free from 'here say' and the like. If I make a comment, on a question,I always state that my answer is my personal opinion. Let's be fair unless we ourselves are doctors, or other experts in the field, then our answers will necessarily be our opinion. Ok, as people who have vasculitis or similar, we can speak with some authority; this may sound a little contrary I know, but then vasculitis IS contradictory anyway!!

Glad we have this 'site' operational.

Best wishes

AndrewT
