I was quite relaxed about this, although I felt that a marginally
interesting fact was being sent to me rather too many times, and in
rather too indiscriminate and random a fashion (you may not have
noticed that I took ove rediting UKMed3W from Andrew a while ago
when becoming a listowner on GP-UK and other tasks made him busy.
I must get around to noting the orthogate URL for it in due course.
Then nobody will _need_ to bounce it around GP-UK.
For what it is worth, I am quite impressed with Orthogate, and I
hope in due course you approach your stated aim of 3 click access
more closely. When you do, I would like to see your next
announcement to GP-UK, and I think the one liner "3 clicks to
anything Orthopaedic anyne can think of" would go down well.
Until then, thank you.

many of the problems I get are due to Orthopods taking forever to
see patients, then grunting at them in a somewhat limited fashion,
ignoring the specific questions asked in ht ereferral and then
ordering investigations that are not delivered for 18 months.... but
problems with clinical practice have little to do with netiquette.

Er, despite being told that several of my colleagues regard you as
having done so...Tact, and diplomacy old chap.

Curiously enough, GPs are independent contractors which although it
often causes us disadvantages does mean that in very important
respects we are not "working for the gov"
Still, perhaps you were just selecting another button to punch to
ensure your message got full attention and encourage a heartfelt
reply.
