Mr. Bader:
If you had not posted your message to O&P I would now be replying in
private only. You, and Gregson, must ask yourselves why you do this.
Please do not post such slander, which compels reply to the list.
In your post, you certainly have captioned your most frequent posture
Wade.....foot in your mouth yet again!! By all means, don't deprive us
of any of your future 'pearls of wisdom'. Laughter is great for the
'soul'...it is especially helpful when you can laugh at yourself!
Prosthetics and orthotics form an endeavour often found together.....not
sure how many practitioners are truly adept in both disciplines.
However, from the point of view of a user, an amputee, I have
familiarity with only one segment and thus my thoughts go in that
direction. It would be nice if some far seeing brace person(s) could
pitch in with comments also.
But look, Wade, many people reading my ideas do not agree with you and
feel as I do that comment is necessary and improvement possible.
Perhaps with some effort you could wean yourself away from being so
disparaging. That frame of mind could also be causing you some
difficulties in interactions with the people for whom you make limbs.
Just a thought. And please keep future ad hominem stuff off the
list.....it detracts from constructive exchange.
Cheers, George B.
