Pat,
Yeah....I know. I could hear your voice in my head in a very loud tone when I read your initial response. Don't know what you look like but I did imagine your hand held high in the slapping position!
I originally read your response when I was sitting in the car parked in front of Massage Envy, waiting for it to get closer to my appointment time. I checked the postings on my iPhone and started laughing when I saw your post. Then I said "Ooooops, Pat thinks I've gone off the deep end! I better fix that post later today."
Then I saw Vi's post, and saw that she also thought I forgot to put the information in there or something, so I knew I needed to get it fixed before swarms (do BLC warriors swarm) of BLC warriors swooped down on me from the skies and pummelled me for my craziness.
I thought "<This Page Intentionally Left Blank>" was a good indicator that there are no good reasons, but once I saw how it was being interpretted, I went back and edited the post. Hopefully, it is clear to everyone now and we put a link to that post from the "What to do when you are newly diagnosed" page.
I personally think there should also be a link to the flowchart I posted but I'm not sure if that would mean that ABLCS was "advocating" that post or something.
Maybe the flow chart needs a disclaimer that says something like: The information presented here is not necessarily the opinion of ABLCS, its sponsors, or affiliates.
That's what TV stations always seem to put up as a disclaimer.
Maybe I'll put the following text in my signature line:
