Hullo forum from a noob!

Greetings and Salutations good folks.
I'm new around here. I've poked around just a bit. I hope I have a bit to contribute but have more questions than anything. StinkyAttic and some other posters have already answered much in existing threads.

Anyhoot...two questions for starters:
Is it ok to give/receive recommendations about specific doctors/caregivers/co-ops on the boards.
If not, is there a way to send/receive private messages that I'm missing?

Thanks in advance!
