As a new user of the site, I see how important it is that all the details are included in the questions to allow those with knowledge to provide the answers you seek. Source of sample, population gated, instruments used, etc are necessary information but sometimes forgotten. There should be no rules or guidelines imposed to using the site. But when I write a question I'd like to get it right the first time. So I'll volunteer to collect problems that occur in communication and work with anyone interested to provide this information to new users. Send your suggestions and complaints my way! When I mentioned above to include examples of questions (or a list of subjects discussed on the site), one I had in mind was "FACSCalibur Red Diode Laser Reliability", which I have forwarded to several individuals. Great exchange and the additional input has been valuable as well. Thanks to all, keep smiling.
