What Mr. Parks was referring to was the childish behavior that you so called
professionals have resorted to, you professionals are acting like a bunch of
three year olds. Grow up and do as Mr.Prusakowski asked and take it to the
soapbox or should we start calling it the sandbox.

> I hope you did not intend to apologize on my behalf. If you did it was
rather presumptuous. I don't remember you being appointed to represent the
O&P practitioners of the US. All the posts I read were clearly labeled so
if anyone didn't want to be informed as to the goings on in the US a simple
flick of the delete key is all it takes. I also do not remember any
vulgar or insulting remarks, just spirited exchange of opinions interspersed
with facts.
> This forum is to disseminate information, I don't remember it being
limited to only an exchange of technical information. Frankly, to me, the
infrequent bouts of vigorous discussions are interesting and a welcome
change of pace from the everyday shop talk. I never understood why people
shy away from vigorous debate. Perhaps if more folks participated the O&P
profession wouldn't be in the state its in now. I hope Paul does not limit
it to only clinical practice. He has done a great job of allowing the
exchange to progress until it becomes repetitive or boring.
