Read my post again, Cathy. That is NOT what I said. I said I had questions
about Avent being in violation of the Code. They have exhibited at ILCA for
years, since before I became president back in 1990! I do have concerns
about them exhibiting, even though they have been at our conferences. And
perhaps this is a good time for LEC to review our policies on exhibitors
before our September conference. I haven't seen that either Medela or
Ameda-Egnell (Hollister) have been in violation of the Code. I think they
have both been extremely sensitive to this issue, but perhaps you know
something I am not aware of. The rest of it was tongue in cheek (TIC) --
but perhaps you didn't catch that.
