To answer Akos, I believe the reason that the instrument representatives do not respond to the negative and positive comments on the mailing list is that "we" have made it clear that we do not want the list to serve as a base for advertising. There is a fine line between defending your company's instruments and advertising those instruments. I agree that it would be good to hear a response from BD. And it would be especially good, because the various instrument vendors can get hammered on this list and perhaps they should have the right to defend themselves! I must say that I commend the vendors for the amount of self-control that they use. Can we figure out a way to let them in on the discussion? Alice Alice L.
