Faith, or even agnostic altruism, expects no less of decent humans.

I believe that "faith" and "sin" are regulated by the AASM, not the ASAA.

Who's got "vices"?

Certainly not the AASM. They're the lab of the universe. Oops, I mean "center." Sorry.

Thank you, but I meant the one that JediMark was mentioned in that led to yet another ban.

Boy, I give you a hanging curve over the center of the plate and WHIFF!

Here, let me show you how it's done:

As Mr. Montero said in the book of Biogenesis, let the one without vice cast the first pitch.

That didn't happen. (Well, not last night anyway.) (I don't think.)

I don't know the answer. I might be willing to host a forum though.

I also like the idea ... but we happen to have a great group here, and I am not in a rush to leave it. I pretty much ignore the other organizations & forums. If someone here doesn't know, I think the chance of finding the answer elsewhere online is between slim and none.

On the other thread, my doctor, along with many other's I've read about here, has absolutely OK'd my decision to tweak settings. Granted, he is not a sleep doctor (which in my mind means he doesn't see it as a threat to HIS income), but he works with me on all aspects of my health in a similar way.

I simply won't remain a patient of a doctor that doesn't think that I am a key member of MY health team. If I'm just a 'subject', then we aren't going to be a very productive team.

Forum? We do have a perfectly good one right here that does nicely..

The main advantage I see from something like that is giving us a little muscle when interacting with Sleep Doctors, Manufacturers, DME's, etc. to discourage them from this kind of restrictive behavior, or at the very least show a large dose of collective displeasure.

Heck, simplify it to one large facebook/twitter/whatever else group... click like or whatever to show your behind it. woot.
It's surprising what good can be accomplished by social media.

I can't find it and am wondering if the thread was deleted.

Mark, I agree. This forum is a lifesaver.

A grassroots movement using social media as a launch pad -- cool idea! The movement needs a name.
