Hi All,

This morning I wrote:

I just want everyone to know that I am not Dr bashing.  I like Drs just fine
(especially our Lactnet Drs!).  So anyone who is upset with my comment and
thinks I *was* Dr bashing, please accept my apologies.

My bottom line is this:

If you don't know the subject (regardless of what the subject is), then you
have no business giving advice on it.  You should refer to someone who does
know the subject or tell the person who needs the info, honestly, that you
need to do some research and you will get back to them when you have learned
what the facts are for the situation they are in.  I simply wish that those
in positions of power or prestige (whatever the field) would learn that it
is OK to not know everything.

Tired and frustrated tonight...
