Discussion groups on the Internet: where to begin?
The ovarian cancer discussion group is one of a few such groups that can be reached via Internet e-mail. Messages posted by members of this group illustrate very well the kind of "small, intimate benefits" that can be found in the discourse among subscribers to Internet discussion groups of this kind. An example is used to illustrate the interest in advocacy-related issues shown by members of this particular group.
