Thank you for your stern rebuke. How crass of me to make comments on the forum unless I had fully researched them first. You really put me in my place. I’m going to stand in the naughty corner for the next 30 minutes. Although I disagree with some of your comments, I just can’t be bothered to respond to them. I’m not the type to get my knickers in a knot over forum comments, as I’m sure you’re not. But I am amazed you think my comments only serve to discredit sensible well-founded evaluations of our medical and medical products industries. I didn’t know I had the power.  
Anyway, have a nice day.
