[ RadSafe ] Radsafe participation

Thu Sep 13 02:04:27 CDT 2018

I don’t believe it’s the appearance of the “site”, but a change in the participation of people in general in social and professional exchanges.  I really don’t want to see the trolls back, since they added nothing positive, but they did get us fired up!

What I believe we need to do is: 1) encourage the newer members of our profession to join Radsafe, 2) encourage them to ask questions, and 3) chime in with assistance when questions are asked.

I’ve been on Radsafe for almost 25 years now(!) and it’s been invaluable to me because of the varied questions, ranges of responses, and diversity of people answering the questions.  Otto, Carol, Sandy, Franz, Doug, Andy, and countless others have added to my knowledge and perspective of this wonderful and diverse profession.  Where else can you hear from highly esteemed professors, NRC members, Vendors, and others on topics of interest to many of us?  I’ve thought before about petitioning ABHP and NRRPT to allow CEUs for Radsafe membership, I know it has added  greatly to my professional base of knowledge and challenged my perspectives.  And I’ve made many professional friends here as well!

So, get new colleagues to join, encourage questions, provide meaningful answers, advice, feedback, and support!

To Henry Rose:  LIKE!  😊

I agree with John Johnson.  RADSAFE should return to glory.  How?

Perhaps the moderator and several interested parties should get together for a discussion on the future of the RADSAFE listserv.  Some type of modernization could perhaps be useful.  I would gladly participate in the effort.

Probably off topic to radsafe list discussions, but Facebook model with quick dumb "Like" and "Unlike" buttons and LinkedIn groups have killed meaningful intelligence discussion, conversation and debate.

Plain text radsafe does not have slightest chance against the gimmicks and bells and whistles and graphics of popular social media, facebook, LinkedIn and (140 or 280 Character) Twitter,

Call me nostalgic or old fashioned or what have you,

Thanks for letting me vent.
