Anyone else irritated with this blatant commercialism with nothing to do with sleep apnea?
Am I wrong to be irritated?
What I love about this forum is the lack of such ads posted in the forum. I appreciate the endorsement of sleep apnea associated products and will use those recommended retailers. Mr. Beds seems to have no interest in sleep apnea or to offer any help to those of us with OSA/mixed/central SA.

Thanks for listening,

Mary Zimlich

99, the way I read this is that he'd had his second sleep study which was a titration. We need to clarify with him before we assign him to the spammer pit! Seems okay to me at the moment.....

I think that Karl B is the real deal asking for suggestions on DME's etc. As
a real newbie, I probably referred to my titration as another sleep test myself.
Anyway, I feel badly about the rough start he had when he came on board
on the heels of the Bed person. As a result, I've gone out of my way to friend
him so that he feels welcome and was hoping a few others might also ;-)

Jan, I absolutely agree with you about Karl. All you need to do is read his Page/Profile to know he has every reason to come to SleepGuide for support and information.

I too have sent him a Friend request and would encourage other members of SG to do the same. His initiation into our Forum was indeed rocky, through NO fault of his own. People were understandably upset about the beds issue, and I think some of that was inadvertently transferred over to Karl.

So jump on in and give our new friend, Karl, the kindness and respect he deserves, y'all!!!!

Thanks, Jan, for posting this--it's important that we clarify when there's been a glitch in the Welcome process.
You are SleepGuide Queen for a Day! (and just wait till you see what THAT gets you!!! LMAO

Susan McCord :-)
Well, I hope that Queen for the Day (or maybe it should be Queen of the Night)-- gives me a good nights sleep...and wishing the same for all of you!
LOL !!! I thought you were going somewhere else with the "Queen of the Night" remark!! I need supervision!!

At times we can figure out a blatant spammer, then there are those that are more subtle. We must take care not to alienate those that are truly needing help.

We can learn about good products from each other and make informed choices based on others views, yet when that forum member appears to have no connection to sleep apnea as such it makes them suspect. I appreciate everyone watching out for each other -- please read profiles before hinting that one is a spammer to avoid hard feelings.

We haven't had many threads that have resulted in "flame wars" and hope that we may continue on that course.
I agree on all points.........

Goshes, ANY comments I made about spamming, etc. were in regards to Mark Beds. If any were misconstrued as being aimed at Karl B I offer my profuse public apology!!!!

If any did seem directed at Karl B it is just because I was inattentive and too happy to have all this stuff going on in my life to mumble and grumble about!!
Wow! Way to get involved Mollette!

for now you have redeemed yourself and welcome

Well that's very big of you.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, and with all due respect, I think you should go screw yourself.

Judy, I don't think your remarks were mis-directed--you're ALWAYS clear about your agenda!!, and I didn't hear anything in it that contributed to that particular controversy.

Save your energy for tomorrow. I hope the day goes well for your totally-antibacterially-treated antiseptic self!! (I too think that's an odd request from the hospital--did they run out of Beta-dyne?????)

Take care--we'll be thinking of you tomorrow.....

Susan :-)

"Like a bridge over troubled water, Mollete......", although I DO appreciate the integrity underlying that comment.....
