Hey E'Lane - good post, and some excellent insights. I also think highly of Mr. AT, but he may have overreacted a little bit in posting that IMHO. Anyway, your answer makes a lot of sense (had a lot of class) and your message is well received. We'll see what VVUS has in store down the road - not bored in the least. Regards.

bleh bleh bleh, Are you Brad? Now I can see a doc giving pretty unbiased opinions due to their training. I dont think a male doc really understands or cares (most) just what it is like to stick a needle up your butt. Now they might feel some sympathy about sticking a needle on your pecker, but I dont see how any woman can know what its like. I know lots of women that wave their bags or whatever around like there is no care in the world and got hit quite a few times by them. Let me tell you! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO GET HIT WITH SOME HEAVY MAKEUP BOXES IN YOUR NUTS! Now here we are talking about about a sales rep, which is why I asked, how can she objectively talk about the advantages of the different treatments. Some people can just talk about things they were instructed about without having any idea what they are talking about. And I didnt say dont trust her info, He indicated he was pleased with the presentation, I wanted to find out just what it was, thats all.. And there is a big distinction, I dont like needles but I do and will take the treatment as needed, just like I am against drugs but will use it if necessary, My tolerance of necessary might be at a higher threshold than others though. But I also love my mom, but I would never trust her and turn my back on her if I was in the hospital. Every time I have, I usually ended up getting stuck with something and then missing something when I woke up. So I make a big distinction between treatment for something and other things like enhancements. So seeing I am the black sheep of the family you can say I dont trust the medical professionals very much, so its not exactly a male/female thing, I was asking what was so impressive in the demo, would think if it was objective then vvus already lost cause the perception would be its not very viable for the vast majority of the patients.
