On HealthBoards, health topics are given individual message boards. Each message board typically contains thousands of discussion threads, each relating to a specific question or comment initiated by a HealthBoards user. Participation on HealthBoards requires free registration. Users who register must supply an email address and login name. Users who are not registered may still view all the contents of the message boards, but cannot post messages. Only anonymous posting is allowed. The boards are moderated to keep the posts free of spam and unsupportive or hostile posts. Users who violate the posting policy may be temporarily banned from using the site. Repeat violations usually result in a permanent ban.

Famous quotes containing the word operation:
“It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding. The only idea of wit, or rather that inferior variety of the electric talent which prevails occasionally in the North, and which, under the name of “Wut,” is so infinitely distressing to people of good taste, is laughing immoderately at stated intervals.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
“Human knowledge and human power meet in one; for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed; and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule.”
—Francis Bacon (1560–1626)
“It is critical vision alone which can mitigate the unimpeded operation of the automatic.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
