I think it would be a good idea to have a sticky of a FAQ that a lot of post ops/preops are worried about. Having been here just a few months I already see quite a few running themes. I think they are valid concerns and things people wouild want to know about.

That would be great. I actually have responses to several common questions saved on my computer and just copy and paste because I get too lazy to type out the same answers again and again.

That very thing has been suggested a number of times but apparently the powers that be at OH don't agree. I suspect it is a matter of the logistics of having someone from OH monitoring the responses to be sure that no bad information gets included (and the potential liabilities of NOT doing so).

We HAVE one we did a few years back. Here's the link. We tried to get it stickied. No luck.

I ended up putting it on my Google docs. Feel free to cut and paste at will. Actually I think I'll do that right now:
