Instructions For Tonight's Mito Chat With Dr Korson At the MDA Site - Please print and read

May 17, 2004

Tonight, Dr Mark Korson from New England Medical Center, Boston will be our

special guest. We anticipate many participants and questions, thus we will

follow the format we have previously established in prior Mito chats. We realize

that the format is somewhat strict but this allows us to have order and to make

our guest comfortable.

If you are coming to view the chat and not ask a question - please log off

and log back in as a " guest " . This will allow the maximum number of people who

have questions the opportunity. If you have asked a question and it has been

answered, please log off and log back in as a guest so that others have the

opportunity to enter the chat. The chat allows a certain number of participants

and when we exceed that number, no one else is allowed to enter.

As you enter the room, you will be given a number which will be openly given on

the chat site. That number is sequential thus in the order you entered. When

your number comes up, you may ask one question and only one question will be

open for the doctor at a time. When he has completed answering the question the

next person in the sequential order will be allowed to post their question. You

will be notified by private message when it is your turn to ask your question

just prior to the time to post it. You might find it helpful to have pre-posted

the question in preparation for entering but be very careful not to hit the send

key until you have been given clearance to do so.

Please reserve this chat for questions to be asked of our guest only. It is

a very special gift of time and expertise that the guest is offering us and

we need to treat our guest with respect. If you wish to chat with someone in the

room, please go to the private chat and communicate.

Anyone who violates the instructions will receive a warning. If a second

warning is necessary, the person will lose their privilege to be in the chat

and will be removed. We hope that we don't find it necessary to do this.

The chat transcript will be available on the MDA website as soon as it has been

edited by Dr Korson and the MDA Chat Administrator. Sometimes this takes a

considerable amount of time as these are very busy men. We ask for your patience

while this is being prepared.
