HairLossTalk.com forum etiquette--is there anything I should know?

[Owl Jolson]

It takes me awhile to pick up on things. What should you do and not do on here? How should a post be written so as to elicit a response? What annoys people? What pleases them?

Don't write huge posts with no paragraphs

go search for the 'just gone senior...' thread pretty much everything you need to know is there.

 

[HairlossTalk]

Yes, dont mention his weiner. And type coherently. And don't listen to people who are alarmists and are freaking out about their hair. And don't start sentences with the word "And". Its bad grammar.

Oh - and before you ask any questions, go to the home page of this site, and type some key words related to your question in that search box. You'd be surprised how much info you'll find!

You'll get along just fine with ME, at least, if you assiduously avoid doing any of the following:

1) Claim that finasteride for hairloss was an "accidental discovery".

2) Use the expression "DHT inhibitor".

3) Use the words "lose" and "loose" interchangeably.

4) Assume that you have to mix Retin-A with minoxidil to get a good effect.

number 1

Bryan: I thought #1 was true? I thought they discovered it worked for hairloss after noting that patients taking it for BPH started growing hair.

?

 

[Bryan]

Nope. That's just about attained the status of being an Urban Legend in the hairloss community! I suspect that just because minoxidil for hairloss actually WAS an accidental discovery, a lot of people just naturally assumed that it was the same for finasteride! The truth is that Merck knew all about the potential uses for good 5a-reductase inhibitors, and had dollar signs dancing in their heads at the very thought of using them for hairloss, hirsutism, BPH, acne, and other androgen-related disorders in which DHT played a major role. It was no accident at all.

After Merck accidentally discovered Propecia, I started using their fine DHT inhibitor product so I would stop loosing my hair.

Everyone's a comedian...

 

[Deaner]

hahaha, thanks, I thought it was pretty comical

 

[Bryan]

Damnit, I just KNEW I was forgetting one of my Pet Peeves, but I couldn't remember which one it was! Here's the full list below:

1) Claiming that finasteride for hairloss was an "accidental discovery".

2) Using the expression "DHT inhibitor".

3) Using the words "lose" and "loose" interchangeably.

4) Assuming that you have to mix Retin-A with minoxidil to get a good effect.

5) Using the expression "Norwood 0".

I'll say it before Deaner does: "Propecia, the accidentally discovered DHT inhibitor, will return you to a Norwood 0, and you won't loose hair anymore." :hairy:

This is doubtful indeed, for propecia to return someone to a Norwood 0 they would need to mix in some Retin-A.

However we all know that discovery of MY WEINER was an accident.

Actually, that statement reminds me of the so-called "pseudohermaphrodites" in the Dominican Republic, who are frequently assumed to be little girls at birth, and raised that way until puberty; then their penises actually ARE discovered by accident during the changes that accompany puberty, and the startled parents realize they don't have a little Juanita on their hands, but a little Juan! :shock:

Hurricane Ivan is now called Ivana in the Dominican Republic!

Try not to post overly long punctuation free blocks of text just re-read it before you hit the submit button so your sure its coherent also dont say your regrowing you're hair unless your certain and dont start sentences with the word and and remember that the words lose and loose are interchangeable. Then just make sure youve red all the posts in the thread to avoid repeating what has already been said and then reread you're post for any obvious grammatical or orthographickle errors.

[blue]

Good point Ty..speaking of c*unts.

You know how they have a weather vane on top of barns to tell how fast the wind is blowing...well usually theres a rooster up there ..or c*** its the same animal really....you know why they have a c*** up on a weather vane?
cause if they had a c*** the wind would blow right through it!

 

[Deaner]

I dunno what kinda girls you hang out with, but if winds just allowed to blow right through that freely...
