I personally learned quite a bit from your posts and you were confident
enough in your sources to post the references. For me I'm on the bubble
concerning the issue, as I should be concerned as a practitioner as this
affects the field, but I practice in a non profit enviroment, so competitive
bidding would not effect me. I think as a young practitioner of the FUTURE
you should continue to ask questions of your colleges and the leadership on
issues such as this.
