Hello everyone

Yes Ross, there are some idealistic fools out here namely myself
(and I know of others) who have stood up against this kind
of thing in our insitituions.  It cost me personally my career
as a professor, my continuing education opportunity at the
moment and a heck of a lot of money.

One thing it left me with though was my integrity.
Surprisingly, being able to sleep at night knowing you
helped prevent an injustice (in this instance it went as
far as a court battle) more than makes up for the personal
inconvenience.
