why do we always get tangled up on these subjects on the histonet. is it human nature or is it just the natural ornary cantankerous character of histechs in general. no offence meant but i've always found histotechs (like myself) to be especial individuals, never afraid to state their opinions, not looking for a fight but never affraid of one either if one comes to you through no fault of your own. and that may be why many of the others are slightly affraid of us . we're not like them , never wanted to be, never tried to be , no how , no way. kblair ft riley ks.

While it is true that some individuals in any group may not act in an appropriate manner let us not use this as a label for all individuals in that group.

Let us please not forget that this is a forum that welcomes everyone to express their opinion (but hopefully in a diplomatic manner).  Let us all act together. Lets hear more about  the skin of wombats, the hypothalamus of insects, the mating rituals of fire ants etc. (do fire ants give each other "hickeys" and if so is it painful is a question that springs to my mind).

I would suggest that it is now time for us to move on from this divisive topic.
