You are quite correct. This paper by Dr. Lynn and
the [also linked] paper by Dr. Levy are both very
good. Better, I believe, than anything we TM'ers
are apt to create. I don't suggest duplication.

Yes, and additional articles. For example, the comments
by Levy are correct but terse, and they don't have
the same obvious applicability as something discussing
the experiences of our group.
Another example: Almost a year ago I needed information
on crutches to make a selection. I spent days on the
web and never gained satisfaction. I think this group,
as a group, can do better.
Yet another: I stumbled onto the Rising Star walker;
without it I would have continued to use a slide board
for months. A write-up in the daily stuff would be
almost useless. Most of us that need a walker have one.
But next week there will be two new members that could
use the information.
And another: Spinal stokes are so rare, we will probably
never see an overview in the medical literature. But
they do happen and are one cause of TM [I'd estimate
maybe 25% of us.] So the topic would be of interest.
I'm willing to write such a paper, but it should be
reviewed by Levy or Lynn. That level of quality control
is inappropriate for the daily stuff.

The TMA newsletter is an obvious vehicle. I guess that
one suggestion I am making is to go beyond one person's
opinions, and make it a group data collection, a team
effort for pruning, and a single final editor.
