Welcome to the Practice Comment & Discussion Board
Please Note that all comments are reviewed by the moderator before being posted. The purpose of the discussion board is to build a respectful, professional community in which participants can discuss issues and ideas, ask questions and share knowledge and experience. Please see the rules of conduct below. If you post any comment here you agree to these rules. The moderator reserves the right to not allow any post that they consider breaches the rules of conduct. The moderator's decision is final.
1. Comments and contributions to forum threads or posts should be descriptive, succinct, and relevant to discussion or forum topic.
1.a. To better facilitate conversation, moderators may move off-topic threads to another appropriate forum, close threads or delete off-topic posts at their discretion.
1.b. To maintain quality of discussions, contributions that do not provide a substantive purpose or relevance may be removed.
2. We encourage contributors to have open and candid discussions and debates. We will not censor members for expressing an opinion within the limits of these rules of conduct. However, all communications should be civil and polite. Members should treat each other with respect and consideration for all points of view.
