[edit] I

I believe that the link to MeetAnOstoMate.com should be re-inserted. This is a website for ostomates from around the world. It is intended to help ostomates find friends and/or start relationships. I think the link would be an appropriate addition to the topic of this article and useful for the readers.

I disagree. Wikipedia's purpose is to describe a subject, not to provide convenient links to patient support groups. Unless that social networking site has at least one page of information which is encyclopedic in nature (that is, something that a college student could use in a paper on the subject, not something that provides social and emotional support to patients), then it should not be included.
