[Histonet] So... I Need Some Expert Advice:

[O'Donnell, Bill]

I'm not in total disagreement with Barry. The FAQ is a good place to
start, and it might be all we need, but I wonder it shouldn't be
revisited just to be sure. There seems to be a lot of questions lately
on some of the basics as well as queries about instrumentation.

My question would be this:

In light of different internet technologies, would a blog format be an
acceptable way of handling or grouping some of these issues? I'm
certainly not advocating a change in Histonet, as it is a fine format
that is serving the community well.

I'm just offering this as a possibile answer to Barry's concern, if
others find his concern worth looking into. 

Just a thought.

Might I suggest that what we need on Histonet is to deal with some basic
questions in histology that have never been answered in detail but have
only been touched upon.
Histonet has a great deal of expertise and it seems we should be asking
these major questions.
Topics such as what is optimal time of fixing, best waxes etc. and why
should be issues here.
My perception is that we often will give personal opinions as to what
the best techniques or materials are but not the science behind the
rational for choosing these, maybe because we do not know. However I
feel that this is an area that we need to expand.
Hope that this makes sense. I've had a week of family medical issues,
broken plumbing under the house (guess that better than personal
plumbing being broken!), two computer crashes and fire ants to name only
the major ones. 
There is therefore, in my opinion, no way to go but up from here so can
we hear your views please?
Barry
