Am interested in the -MN is a good thing and we want its opinions herad in the media.
MN changes and the opinions shift massively over a period of time-
eg if the weaning boards are more leaning towards the "mum knows best" opinion in a given time because some of the people who are aware and trust the WHO guidelines are away/given up etc.... will MNHQ be happy with those posts all being taken out and quoted?
And how can we be sure of the context of our posts?
ID we ware posting somthing quite complicated and then asked to clrify later in the thread- how is anyone going to make sure the context is kept and the explination still there when it gets lifted into the nest media.
I am not alarmist nor hysterial.
i just see that this amy work with very very very stight restrcitions on how stuff gets pulled and quoted.
ANd I don't think that at this stage MNHQ is up for that job- sorry.
it will end up with lobbyists coming in and having a certain opinion and then discussion ensuing... all for the benefit of a particular publication .... using the Mn massive as just fodder for aparticular opinion.
And how would you trust that in a thread all of the dissenters would get quoted for an atticle in support of something.
and are you going to stop at teh DM/papaers... or are our words and witticisms going to be used to advertise stuff?
Now you've opened a door and seem actaully to be happy it is open, i feelt eh rest is to come with some sort of haphazard/no regulation from MNHQ..
