First of all, why didn't the vendor contact you personally.  Your employer
probably doesn't subscribe to the Histonet so how can they can defend
themselves when a vendor call and tell them" Tell your tech not to be saying
things about our products" or whatever your employer was told.  Secondly,
the Histonet is a forum for all techs and interested parties to voice their
opinion about work products, techniques, problems or anything else WE want
to.  When vendors start using this forum to possibly threaten individuals
for expressing their opinion and facts about whatever the topic maybe, then
vendors need to get off the net.  Vendors, if you have a problem with the
topic or comments address them personally to the individual with the
comment.  Maybe you as a vendor didn't know there was a problem and if you
did know why has it not been fixed or a happy medium been established.  As a
tech/supervisor nothing burns my behind more than a rep not fulfilling their
commitment(that is to keep me happy) or product not performing to what it
was advertised to do.  So Joe keep voicing your opinions and all I ask is
tell the truth and don't blow it out of proportion.   I remember that email
and I think all you said " you wouldn't try do immunos on the Autocyte
because you were having problems getting your liquid base paps to stay on
the slides" and I find nothing slanderous about that comment.
