> ....Functional support. Someone else supplies ancillary services (lab work, x-rays, or hospitalized patient coverage, etc.). A number of PBers are skilled in technical areas; they might be delegated to provide posters with technical problems fixer-type suggestions, refer them to relevant FAQs, and/or e-mail you about the ones which require administrative services.
Those were good categories. The above one, though, doesn't require any special privileges, anyone who's able to can always help out that way...
> INFORMED CONSENT: Since this is critical to trust (in both patients and posters), I believe that anyone who provides any type of support services should be announced in appropriate PB board descriptions (along with their e-mail address).
I'm not sure about the email address part, since I'm available myself, but yes, this is related to the FAQ issue...
> RESPONSIBILITIES: Even Type A types burn out when they try to do it all forever...
Didn't I already agree with Mark H. that "some sort of delegation will be necessary"? :-)
> PB has been critical to my survival, as well. I'd be happy to help with any services you may decide to delegate (except tech support, where I'm competent, but not sufficiently skilled). I always read PB, though I may post less often now; so, please add my name to your undoubtedly long list of volunteers.
I will, thanks. But this is still a sort of trail period...
> Though it may seem so at times, pioneers are not *always* thankless. Thanks!
Same to you! :-)
