    Some details on this statement might help:

    "...Given what happened to Lissack last year, at the hands of the AoM
    Executive Committee, we dare not identify ourselves (we need our jobs
    and have families to feed)."

    You miss the point. I don't care to silence you or anyone. If the
    issue is
    important, and the issue of ethics that you raise is just that, then
    we
    should talk about it openly. What bothers me is not the issue you're
    raising, but the way you're doing it. I just want to know who we're
    talking
    to, particularly when you respond defensively as you have below.
    Isn't
    there even one John Hancock in your group? I'm sure that Charlie
    Wankel or
    Jone Pearce or any number of other people, perhaps even some of the
    people
    you mention, would be glad to put together a panel to discuss the
    issues.
    But raising things anonymously like this, in my opinion, is not the way
    to
    initiate such a discussion. If others within the Academy think
    differently,
    then please speak up. I don't mean to be the only one responding to
    these
    people.
