When I read threads, I often find the balance of opinions in the threads. So many points of view, perspectives, opinions. I rarely see any slamming, I see passion and reason often trying to find a way to work together.
I may have derailed the post Jane, so please everyone get back to the original topic if I got it wrong...

Jane, I agree with you on most threads... except those which criticize FIRST.
CD is only a single case which acts as an indicator.

People are unable comprehend that FIRST may be doing something wrong on a basic level.
That something may be less than ideal in the way things are running now.
The common knee jerk reaction a criticizer would get is: "you are wrong if you say that FIRST has flaws."

Assuming that you have reached perfection is always the very first step on the road to ruin.
