Further thought is that you guys in the USA (I think) get your local phone calls free and can stay online all day for your monthly fee. UK people have to pay a local phone call fee, so are unlikely be be online for extended periods.
There are other cultural differences: We have our National Health Service, providing free treatment. So we are not stressed by medical expenses (but our doctors are). We call it Imigran, you call it Imitrex, loads of things.
Knowledge is power.
In any event I try to help where I can, but knowing where someone lives gives me an idea as to whether to post on message board (as I did to Todd) or compose offline and email.
In any event, this site is helpful to us all.

Teignmouth, Devon (at least I've heard of where you live)
