All you need to do is subscribe and then take advantage of the resources available including asking specific questions such what is and what is the purpose of the PSA II type analysis. ( If I am not mistaken PSA II is proprietary to DIANON and Hybritech has just come out with a similar assay.)

It can be annoying if you reply to all subscribers when you meant to reply to just one individual. Reply to Sender is intended to help avoid this. - Be sure the Subject line of your message relates to your message or the message you are replying to. This is particularly applicable to those receiving the PPML in "digest" form. - Be brief. Re-read before sending. Quote just enough of the message you are replying to allow recall. - No commercial postings, this includes 'third party.' - Private messages unrelated to the topic should be sent by private email. - If you have a conflict with anyone, settle it by private email. - If you are upset or angry, take time to cool off before answering. - If your signature is in a file, try to keep it reasonably short. Four lines are suggested unless a PCD is appropriate - Rude or inappropriate messages will not be tolerated. -Failure to follow these simple rules of courtesy could lead to restriction, suspension or cancellation of your subscription. Your subscription will begin in "digest" mode. ( Groups of messages several times a day.) Receipt of messages in "mail" mode (individual messages) can be requested after your subscription is confirmed by following instructions in the WELCOME Message you will receive.
