Here's a question for the moderators, which I hope they will reply to publicly so others can read it as well.

If this web site is supposed to be helpful to our health, why is it a rule that no links to other web sites with health information be entered into a post?

There is a TON of helpful advice out there in the way of other web sites, but this site somehow sees that as competition or something - I don't know.

Could we get an explanation as to why, for example, no one can steer me to a web site that lists foods high in cholesterol that I would like to learn about? This message board isn't very helpful to me otherwise.

Thanks,
Schomer
