cathy -
I truly believe you mean well, but this is a real scary idea
it would be nice if we could help everybody who came slong, BUT we have a PRIMARY PURPOSE here, both by consensus and by proclamation of the webmaster/owner
the source of the value on this site is that it is limited to cluster headache
1. the web is already LOADED with general headache sites that do what you're proposing
2. Not good to set up clusterheadache.com's health as a resource to set up as an overall screening site for general headache complaints, "we do clusters" well, let's stick to our focus & keep that quality
anything that "officially" opens the forum to discussion of other maladies can only result in lowering the standards of the site re: CH
that's absolutely a "fact of nature" - the broader the scope the shallower the content
3. INCREDIBLE liability - don't know about DJ, but were I him, I wouldn't want any part of it !
