Thank you

Thank you for the nice words. My goal is that eventually we have everyone in one successful group! It will take time and work but I'm an optimist. Many of the users and takers are losing their followings or have been unmasked.
If I can just convince some of the posters that there are good people in many of the organizations and people who do care and fight for the profession maybe we all could turn down the rhetoric.
Every year I see things a little better but get offended when the entire system is attacked since I am part of it. I know some have been screwed and yes some have failed because of their own behavior. But until we realize that it is the few bad apples who turn us who care against each other while they sit back and corrupt the system we all lose.
We need optimistic ethical students who are supported and not frightened by some of the negative attacks. Imagine being in debt, studying all night for a final and then read posts that tell them to run away or just wait you'll fail. Let's all try to expose the warts but then remove them and not turn off people who care. Also some posts are plants by our competitors who are obviously nervous so at least we are doing some good if we can scare a sneaky ortho or 2. BTW some orthos are our friends and refer so that was meant for the mean spirited ones who read and post here.
Once again thanks!!!!!
