Amyloid discussion
David Small
Well after nearly a year of hoping that discussion would be self-generating
on the amyloid newsgroup, I must admit my error. Discussion does not seem
to come easily to the Alzheimer community. There have been a few postings
about meetings, but there has been little to generate informed
discussion. Can I remind people that this is one of the few open fora for
posting Alzheimer-related items on the internet.
Perhaps this is the opportunity to try something different. We could try
to air a few controversial issues in this forum and ask the major opponents
in this debate to give their views.
One idea would be to discuss topics like:

my own view ... but ...
Any thoughts?
