I think it must be the person's own responsibility how they seek info. Before the Internet era, a friend of mine bought this bigbutt medical book for family use, and after a while he asked me if I wanted it. Sure, it was lovely and expensive. But why? It came out he couldn't distance himself from the info and he got really, really hypochondriac. He said the book wasn't good for him so he'd rather give it away. He knew I had no health anxiety so the book would find a good home, LOL.

I think it is how people using the Internet also must think. Some people work themselves up to a point where it is unhealthy and they might find googling things (symptoms, side effects) doing them harm. Often they realize it and they go easy on the info, and a person like that might handle this forum part with some care.

Everyone knows their own mind the best, and I think we all stay away from some stuff online. We do what is best for us as individuals. I think we need to ASSUME responsibility of the reader. If I post something called "Problem with my Xanax" I assume those scared of reading about Xanax do not open the thread.

BUT if someone posts a thread telling he is scared of the new med and doesn't want to hear "stories" but wants a little reassurance, I think THAT needs to be respected too.

I think we can come far if we stop walking all over each other... and keep the titles descriptive. Those who are sensitive can stay away from stuff they can't handle.

Me, I'm the opposite, I worry less the more I know.

(And... I'll take ya off my Siberia list now... LOL)
