What are the "rules" of alt.support.endo?
There are none - other than all participants must be respectful of each other!
Who is welcome to join the group?
All women who have endo, think they have endo, or need information are welcome. In addition, their significant others and family members are certainly welcome and encouraged to join in the discussions. We always welcome accredited physicians and professionals to participate where they can, and certainly anyone who has legitimate interests in learning more about the disease is always welcome.
Who is not welcome?
"Snake oil" salesmen, predators who wish only to prey on unsuspecting women in pain to sell their "cures" to, are not welcome. Ever. If you are a newbie, and someone contacts you off-list to tell you the story of how they "found a cure", ignore it. Post to the group about any mail you receive off-list to ensure that it comes from a valid source. There are several long-standing members of the group who can tell you if a contact is legitimate. Many are not.
