I really don't mean to be critical, but this last post of yours is just gibberish.

Why would you post a message quoting me, and then state that you hope Scott addresses it? It seems that you would have had that discussion with Scott and just left me out of it until you and he had reached some kind of agreement.

And why did you reference ASHI in response to my comment? I didn't mention ASHI, or any other organization. I mean, it's just strange. You whine for years about ASHI involving itself in state licensing initiatives, and then when I opinie about the reasons an organization would RESIST licensing, the only organization you can think of is ASHI. That's just nonsense. What's more, everyone reading this knows it's nonsense.

And, after attempting to smear ASHI with your ridiculous statement: "I just hope that Scott jumps in here to defend ASHI from your rude comment", why would you then boast about being a member of that organization, and why would you further boast about being a board member? I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not impressed to learn that you are a board member of an organization you despise. That seems to me to be a miserable existence.

Finally, why would you assume that I would want to shine your boots? Did you think I would find such a comment from such an individual to be insulting? When you wrote that comment, did you imagine that people would think less of me, or less of you?

I really didn't intend to get into a contentious discussion here. I just wanted to know why Bushart was posting under the name of Hemplestern.
