MeTa post: Gave one, finally got one.

And here are photos, as promised. Sorry I missed the show, but it was nice to meet a few (among thousands of) mefites.

MeTa post: AskMe screws the pooch

I don't think AskMe got it badly wrong. The poster left out critical details about her health history, so she has some responsibility for the quality of the answers. (Even doctors deal with this, so the problem is not limited to faceless folks on the internet.) If people who are members more than a year and who have a posting history that looks fairly balanced treat AskMe as a medical journal rather than a friendly chat with folks who may have similar experiences to share, then the...
