coming from someone in your profession and whos been on both sides of the fence (with credentials to boot), your message is very powerful indeed! your post would make for some stimulating discussion and debate and i've been waiting for anyone with vehemently opposing views to comment, make sleight of or debunk what you've said; or perhaps, personally discredit you.
to date however, not a one has come forward which is highly unusual for this forum. perhaps you struck a nerve with people (which is no easy task). on the other hand, one would be pretty hard-pressed to argue the facts or attempt a smear campaign. whatever the reasons i think your ongoing presence, contributions and feedback in this forum are not only welcome, but very important.
