as a newcomer to mailing list I would like if someone could explain to me what is allowed to put in our mails. Iknow that the bulk of mails deal with computer applications ,but is that the only subject that one can enquire about. For example,recently a friend was entered for laser treatment to help with diabetic retinopathy , can a member enquire through vics if any member has views on this procedure and the outcome after treatment .Something along the line of a self help group .If this suggestion is out of order ,please ignore. best wishes Frank.
