No, not the good kind – the bad kind. It seems that negativity is very contagious here. I do not think I need to state reasons why it is negative here; we all know. Never in my life would I have expected the UAG to turn its back on us, but I cannot give any justification why they have chosen to just be silent when we all have so much invested here. It is one thing for the AMA or others outside to do something against us, but it is becoming clearer that we are not exactly loved by "our own" either. We have not been given our options, contingencies based on possible outcomes, or any official statement - nothing. This, if nothing else, shows the lowest possible level of respect for us. To say we are all discurraged is an understatement.

I will be trying to make the best of everything here (and there is still a lot of good here). However, I have gotten to a point where even I have nothing good to say. Thus, I will probably be taking a vacation from this board.

Good luck everyone.
