== Sclerosing Foam and Patent Foramen Ovale ==

An On Line discussion lasting from 12th to 23th of february 2007, about Foam Sclerotherapy
and possible collateral effects on cerebral circulation.

On february 12th, essential documents will be posted on the list to make everyone aware of the problem.

One days later, on february 13th, the short comments of the
selected vascular experts will be posted too.

Starting from february 14th, the discussion will be open to all people feeling they have some
remarks to share on the list.

This list has a Moderator, a panel of Vascular Experts, invited when the list was born and
a President elected inside this restricted group.

The discussion will last officially until february 23th, while as a non moderated one it could
go on "ad libitum".

Allowed languages are english, french, spanish and italian.
It is better to write at least in two languages, to make the communication easier,
even if it's not mandatory.

All contributions to the discussion will be gathered and (if possible) published
on the internet or on a CD.

As a partecipant to the List you should renounce to all rights coming from your
contributions to the discussion, in the case they will be published.

The same rule applies to invited Vascular Experts, except for a symbolic fee they
will receive in case funds gathered by sponsors will cover all expenses.

If you don't agree with this statement, please unsubscribe and do not
partecipate to the list.

Funds are limited, but in case they will be sufficient, apart of list
mainteinace expenses, they will be used to institute an award to be given for a research in the
field of foam sclerotherapy.

This list will be closed at the end of the event, maybe at the end of february 2007.

RULES are of 2 kinds: "do it" and "don't do it".

Here are the "DO IT !!!" RULES
• change the message object in the replay, if you want to start a new thread. Messages with the same object will be authomatically cathegorised by mail programs.
• use an impersonal tone towards other members of the Event List, as you didn't know them at all. This helps in editing. Consider that the aim of the Event is to publish the Proceedings. All "friendly" parts have to be ruled out of the text and substituted by impersonal ones. And this is very long work, which is also a theoretically avoidable one.
• write in good english. You can add, if you want, a translation into your native language.
• replay deleting all useless previous message lines. Messages will be shorter and more readable. People will thank you, especially if with a low modem connection or with an almost full mail box.
• write only messages about the topic which is in discussion in the Event.

RULES are of 2 kinds: "do it" and "don't do it".

Here are the "DON'T DO IT !!!" RULES
• DO NOT use offensive words towards other members of the Event list. The Moderator will erase all offensive messages.
• DO NOT change the message object in the replay, if you don't want to start really a new thread. Messages with the same object will be authomatically cathegorised by mail programs.
• DO NOT use a too much friendly tone towards other members of the Event List. This helps in editing. Consider that the aim of the Event is to publish the Proceedings. All "friendly" parts have to be ruled out of the text and substituted by impersonal ones. And this is very long work, which is also a theoretically avoidable one.
• DO NOT replay, without deleting all useless previous message lines. Messages will be shorter and more readable. People will thank you, especially if with a low modem connection or with an almost full mail box.
• DO NOT write messages out of the topic which is in discussion in the Event. Avoid humanitary, political, health help messages.
