CHA archive

[Guest guest]

This is a response from Crane. I am satisfied that our archive will be

even more secure on their server than on 's, especially since

is visited by millions of all ilks and Crane by hundreds of the faithful.

What I forgot to mention is that will soon begin to delete hundreds

of earlier posts when the message capacity is reached. We cannot let this

happen. If there are no further reasonable objections, I plan to proceed

with the CHA archive on Crane.

Is that level of security even possible on the internet? I've gotten

hits from Crane and forums when doing a Google search. So

indirect access may always be possible in some way.

This information is incorrect. When searching on Google for

forums.craneherb.com, the only hit one receives is a page stating that

" The page you requested is restricted to licensed health practitioners

registered with Crane Herb Company. "

 

I encourage CHA members to attempt to perform this search themselves.

This means that UNQUALIFIED people who is prepared to lie can

get the password and can, thereby, access what was intended as

confidential professional discussion. It also means that spammers

can get the list of addresses of all correspondents to the Archive,

and use these addresses for commercialo spamming.

 

Can Crane Herbs increase tghe security of its site and ensure that

only qualified professionals can access it? I, for one, would not like

some of my more esoteric comments (originally directed to CHA

Members, to go for general release, OR to go to the Quackuster-

types who might misquote sincere but esoteric comments for their

own nefarious ends!

 

 

 

Crane requires proof of license (such as a faxed copy of license) or a

faxed copy of a current student id prior to allowing access to the

forums. This document is reviewed by Crane (i.e. a human) before a

username and password are issued.

The CHA archive, as with all Crane forums, does not display email

addresses. When you use the Crane forums, your email address is never

posted on the web nor sent to anyone by email. Even forum members

cannot make unsolicited contacts between each other. No one, including

Crane, needs to know your email address in order for you to use the

Crane forums. Crane does require proof of license or current

enrollment in an OM program.

 

allows unsolicited contact of all rs by all other

rs.
