External links

I have removed the external link to an internet discussion forum from Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. You might want to read the official rules about which external links are acceptable in Wikipedia articles. You can find them at WP:EL. The immediately relevant one is under WP:ELNO, #10: "Links to social networking sites (such as MySpace), chat or discussion forums/groups (such as Yahoo! Groups), USENET newsgroups or e-mail lists."

Civility

Steve,

I, too, grieve with Chaya Venkat for the loss of her husband. I have removed your comments from the CLL talk page in an effort to keep you from getting blocked over gross incivility. I hope that it works, and that you can come back in a few days with a clearer head. Blessings, WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:31, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
