a) You are missing something, something that experience will bring
b) we dont care if we expand or contract, GP-UK is not in anyones control to regulate like a Royal College. It may have escaped your
notice, but GP-UK is the most active mailing list on ther Newcastle server. The volume of messages is large and there is a lot of
rubbish and banter, but there is also a lot of serious stuff. If you wish to take part in less frivolous discussions about General
Practice, please look at http://www.wisdom.org.uk.
c)We dont represent the views of anyone, or do we? The press takes an interest because it is a very good way of getting the views of
quite a few GP's. The fact that many lurk and don't join in suggests there is something of interest here.
d) You cant have it both ways, moaning about the content and volume and then saying you might miss something!
e) the name has been around for a bit, like yourself. It was designed to attract members. It has been very successful at doing that.
This sort of list has been in existence since before GP-UK, several of its members were active on a bulletin board called Pri Marie
Care. We have enjoyed the comradeship and support and education. If its not broke don't wade in from outside and try and fix it.
