Hi again--
Since my "cover" is blown, and this is Medical Librarians Month, I thought I'd better try to absolve the innocent. Most medical librarians are perfectly capable of finding everything "out there" on a topic without feeling compelled to read any of it. My current obsession with neuropsychopharm is a personal quest by a quirky, Aspergerish personality, *not* a typical professional characteristic. As a former colleague told me (with some exasperation) re multiple ongoing computer problems, "It's not necessary to know how something works, or why it's not working now in order to get the job done. Either we can fix it with what we know or can logically infer, or we develop alternatives." She's a "bottom line" person; I think I suggested carrier pigeons.
Well. I lost (a version of) this post and the one I tried to take over to PB re neurotransmitter stuff when Dr. Bob closed the boards to posting last night. Sort of reminds me of the original PB; I had impeccable timing--nearly every time I posted, the board "rolled over" an hour later. (Cyberspace sure ages quickly.)
Guess I'll go and try to reconstruct another post. An abashed---medlib
