Hi, @jason223 - I wanted to add my welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. In answer to your question about who among those responding works for Mayo Clinic, here is some information on our moderator team https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/about-connect/tab/moderators/ and our volunteer mentor team, of which @merpreb is a part https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/about-connect/tab/volunteer-mentors/.

One suggestion for you, so that other members will know exactly to whom you are responding, would be to utilize the other member's username (e.g., @whistletoes) in your response. Or, if you are generally talking to a number of members, that would not be necessary.
