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.
