There are a number of posters on this site that I have deep respect for.

Owl is definitely one of them - and one that I have learnt so much about IMU and the goals they are chasing. We were also both on another biotech site as well a few years back now.

Owl has the wonderful mix of great knowledge and intelligence , being straight and direct in her comments and possesses that rare trait of empathy. Having family that are involved in the medical field which has the exposure to human suffering I would say that it probably enhances that trait greatly.

I think Owl has become one of the most respected posters on the IMU site for a lot of people as well. She comes across as a very decent human being. She has my sincere admiration.

I have no knowledge of your experience but coming here and abusing a long term poster with her attributes is crossing a line that you should not have crossed.

As for the the other points you raised, I can't comment as I have no direct experience - I'm too stupid and that is why I rely on the great posters - like Owl - to fill in the gaps in my knowledge.
