Personally, I'd like to hear more about Hangers business practices and their
efforts to salt the boards with their representatives. I don't think we
fear Hanger is providing the best O&P services in as much as we fear the
opposite. Hanger does not speak for all of O&P yet. I would like to
reserve judgment a while longer if you don't mind. I think the horse can
withstand a few more lashes. This is preferable to sweeping things under
the carpet and making decisions behind closed doors in my humble opinion.
