Overall I love this
site, it has been the best thing that has come my way and I will continue to
participate. The wealth of information and support/assistance here is
unsurpassed anywhere. Anytime I mention this site to anyone as my
“lifeline”, I get a very positive response. I will not comment on Marti as we
have been asked multiple times not to discuss Software on the site although I
know I have forgotten on occasion responding to a “who do you use and are you
happy”. However, I will respond to the comments of feeling “shot down
/ridiculed” at times. I have noticed it before, felt it before and
perhaps unwittingly done it myself. I think sometimes we forget that
although there is the “technically correct” road, much of what we do is
subject to the interpretations of our survey teams and fiscal intermediaries
and there are variables from region to region; state to state, and
intermediary to intermediary etc. When each of us answers it is by
regulation but it is “colored” by our own reality. Everyone needs to
remember this and not make rash, hurtful remarks. I recently had a
couple of remarks r/t restraints that annoyed me. I stated my position
(based on my reality) and got “shot down”. I am happy for the person who
argued with her state and won but I didn’t (and argue I did!) and that does
not make me wrong or an idiot-just not as lucky!! LOL!!!

correction to Mr. Gary's letter
to continue, as I was saying
before my machine so kindly sent this message before I was ready:
It is pompous and self promoting for those persons to continue to
include links and self promotion after all the commotion with Marti. It
does not smell very good, and makes AANAC look bad. I have not
participated on this list serv for just that reason. I have been 'shot
down' and ridiculed one too many times, so I just read and learn what I can.
I am sure there are a number of us out here like that. Marti was
the friendliest and kindest person on this site. It figures that she is
banned. Not a good fit. Now, will I be banned for daring to
criticize the high and holy? We shall
see.
