What happens to patients molds after work is done?

Tedi, I don't understand something. You are participating in Usenet, yet
you do not want your posts to be archived for the future use of others with
similar interests?

You may not understand my curiosity. I looked at your Google profile, and I
see that you have an interest in very few newsgroups with the account you
are using in smd. I can only see what I can see, of course. If you have
other accounts, I wouldn't know of them from a simple search.

In my opinion (and I am not speaking for anyone other than myself), I think
that to participate in a public forum, which is what Usenet is, by way of
publishing your thoughts and ideas in newsgroups, carries with it a certain
"responsibility" of maintaining the flow of these postings for "tomorrow".

What do you have to gain by requesting that your posts are not preserved in
the archives hosted by Google? What do you have to lose if your posts are
read by someone else in the days, weeks, months, years to come?

By posting to smd (or elsewhere), you have already contributed to archives.
Do you have some other idea about this that we should all consider?

Hi WB,

If your patient asks for the models, do you give the original or a
duplicate?

Nope. I roll mine inside snowballs for pesky patients ......

Hey TW,

If the patient wants them they get the originals.
Most do not want them. Don't know why.

Hi Sabra,

I thought there was no issue with archiving her posts. She found that the
"bots" were harvesting her email address for Spam, and she is doing this to
limit the Spam.

Tedi,

In my office, I toss out any models as soon as the final product is
delivered to the patient. Tougher cases get the models photographed and
stored in the digital dental record first. No way to store all that stuff
forever.

I don't think the bots get them from Google. I could send out a post with a
new address and long before it ever gets picked up by Google ... there WILL
be spam in my inbox. But.... as always, anything is possible!

Steve,

I thought all of your study models were digital!

Go down to Nogales. I went to a dentist there, and there was a pile of
models behind his clinic. Looks like he saves them all......
