Should you get mammograms?

 

Here are three sources below arguing against

mammograms. They all supply some interesting

information.

This is a very important topic and worthy of discussion; however,

aren't there more appropriate forums for this discussion?

It's a good topic for the group I feel because we vegetarians are

interested in staying healthy, and breast cancer is certainly a vital

health issue. Feel free to throw in another veg issue though if you like.

Shrug!

 

Are we complaining about discussion of health issues?

 

Seems to me, it takes less effort to click delete and

go on, than it does to click on reply and then

complain.

 

When I'm watching television, and I flip to a program

that I'm not interested in, I keep flipping. I do not

write to the network, or stars of that program to

complain that it does not interst or relate to me!

 

Oh, I have written to networks! I have written to

point out poor grammar in comercials intended for

children ( " We're funner " ), or news programs when the

" news " they share is incorrect ( " Jews are celebrating

the holiday of Seder " ).

 

Ingredients. Recipes. Pets. Alergies. Vitamins.

Where to shop / eat. Vegetarian / vegan. Health.

Personally, I like the direction of topics this group

explores. :^)

 

When I don't relate... or care, I can delete. I can

even roll my eyes... and then delete... :^)

 

 

 

...........

I'm wondering now about clicks on reply to comment on

this. :^)

To ease your wondering, I'll go ahead and respond with a comment and

observation:

 

1. I was NOT complaining. My intent was to raise the question as to

whether or not the topic was on target for this group. I view the

group as oriented toward discussing vegetarian cooking and life

styles. To me, mammograms are omniverous :>).

 

I agree that I can, and ususally do, delete postings that are of no

interest. However, I belong to several groups devoted to vegetarian

cooking and various ethnic cooking topics. As such I get a lot of

postings (nothing unusual for most of us I am sure). Therefore I am

continually evaluating the groups to see if they fit my interests.

My comment was only to raise a question on the direction this group

is interested in taking. From the few responses, it appears that

the group feels that mammograms are an appropriate topic. That is

great! My interest in this group is for the recipes and general

information specific to the vegetarian way of life. Mammograms do

not fall into either category. So, like all of my other groups I

will continue to evaluate whether I am getting what I am looking for

from the group and if so will continue and if not I will drop the

group. It's cool either way.

 

2. I found it interesting that Mr. Wirpel took the time to reply

because of his apparent strong exception to my questioning whether

or not there were more appropriate forums for the topic. The

initial point of his response was that I should have just deleted

the posting. However, he also went to some lenght to descibe how

he frequently contacts organizatons to express his opinions about

their programming or content. I hope this was not the intent, but

the implication is that it is ok for him to directly address an

issue in writing to someone, but others should just turn off or

delete.

 

I promise that I will not clutter the discussion group with any more

responses on this topic.

 

Thanks.
