Rules for Posting to the F-HYPDRR Mailing List

The F-HYPDRR mailing list is a moderated discussion mailing list dedicated to discussing XLH. In order that everyone can feel comfortable to participate there are certain rules which we require all members to follow.

You may not post messages which are:

  • abusive, vulgar, obscene, hateful, fraudulent, threatening, harassing, defamatory
  • post or transmit sexually explicit material
  • impersonate any person, or falsely state or otherwise represent your affiliation with a person or entity
  • post or transmit any advertising, promotional materials, or other forms of solicitation including chain letters and pyramid schemes
  • post or transmit any file that contains viruses, corrupted files, "Trojan Horses", or any other contaminating or destructive features that may damage someone else's computer. F-HYPDRR does not accept file attachments at all.
  • When responding to someone else's post, please do not enclose the prior post as part of your response. Instead you can include the portion of the post that you find useful, or simply refer to the e-mail directly. All e-mail messages are being archived for searching by members and these duplicate posts can become confusing and take up additional storage space. Additionally, it is easier on everyone's mailbox if the posts to F-HYPDRR are kept small in size. We do have a size limit on the size of posted messages for this same reason
  • Responses to posts on the F-HYPDRR mailing list by default go directly to the entire mailing list. In order to limit the number of e-mail messages members get, please decide if is best to e-mail responses directly to a member instead of the entire list. Examples of e-mails that are best sent directly to a member are congratulations notes, responses for a poll etc.

XLH is also known as X-Linked Hypophosphatemia (sometimes also spelled as hypophosphataemia), X-Linked Hypophosphatemic Rickets, Familial Hypophosphatemia, Vitamin D-Resistant Rickets (VDRR) Rickets and even Genetic Rickets. Its notable characteristics are bowed legs, short stature, poor teeth formation causing spontaneous dental abscesses, and low blood phosphorus levels.
