I.  The reason for creation and purpose of alt.health.cfs:

Many in the CFS/CFIDS community have expressed a need for a TRULY and
completely unmoderated newsgroup. There are newsgroups and list servers =

that
claim to be un- or loosely moderated however, there is still an owner an=

there is still some level of moderation. (this varies by degree)  =

alt.health.cfs
is GENUINELY unmoderated, at ALL Times.

Having a completely unmoderated newsgroup means that no one, even the
creator of the group,(John Azzara) can dictate policy or take any action=

against any one's postings and opinions. This forum is a true forum of f=
ree
speech and open exchange of ideas and theories relating to CFIDS and CFI=

issues. You no longer have to be in fear of criticism for things such as=

etiquette, grammar, spelling errors, or just voicing your opinion. No  =

matter
how outrageous or politically incorrect your personal feelings may be.  =

Debating
is fine. However, we would encourage everyone to try to act in a civil
and adult manner and try to treat others as you would like to be treated=
