Why a database?I have been on the internet since early 1997 and I have found much useful information on Addison's Disease, including several excellent forums and e-mail lists. However, there are times when it might be very useful to know if there are any fellow sufferers (or members of our "exclusive club"!) in say, the same town/county/state; or if you are travelling to another area/country, it would be reassuring to find local contacts, even if you only contact them in an emergency. How much information should I leave?Obviously, the more information on the database, the more use it will be. I would suggest a minimum of name (perhaps just forename),e-mail address,state/county and country.How secure is the information?The information is available to anyone finding the website. This is no different,however, to leaving your name and e-mail address on an open forum. You need not leave your full name and address.How does it work?When you submit your details,they are e-mailed to me. I add these to the database on my home computer. I periodically send these as a text file to my ISP server, where the database seach program resides. Details are therefore not added instantly.How do I delete or change details?Send any amendments as an e-mail to me. |
