I think it is wonderful that you gather all the news articles pertaining to dialysis or transplants.  I know where to find something if I need it.  I've used it several times to refer someone to the articles on the misuse of Epogen.

Please continue!   :clap;

I always scan through all the headlines of the new ones, and I usually completely read most of them. I rarely comment on them, though. I do really appreciate you gathering them so we can all see them.

YES.  I love the articles.  I read a good bit of them and pass some along to my uncle who then incorporates them into mailing that go out to the family and friends network.  Hopefully someone will read one that inspires them to donate.  Please don't stop posting.   :cuddle;

I check the headlines and read those which I think will be of particular value at that time.  Occasionally, I scroll down the page to see what I may have missed.  It is comforting to know that they are available for search any time I need them.  Thanks for taking the time to post them!

I haven't been out here much for a long time -- too much going on with moving, trying to sell (and now rent) my old house, new job, deadlines, etc, etc, but it was the news board that first drew me to this board. I hope to be back regularly soon and look forward to reading them daily again.

I wasn't fishing for compliments and I plan to keep posting. I was curious because some articles haven't been viewed much. And I know guests read them, but wasn't sure if members were reading them very often. Thanks for the responses!
