[Histonet] Update on Automated IHC machines

[Joe Nocito]

Dear fellow 'netters,
	It appears that my response to which IHC machinery to get has met with some
resistance, shock and awe. As a matter of fact, some people have been really
angry at me and have directly said so.
	I know many vendors scan the Histonet and I really don't have a problem
with that. Those of us who are in a supervisory or management position know
that there are many battles we face every day.  We have to learn to pick our
battles in order to survive. My battle with which immunostainer to purchase
was taken out of my hands by the same people who sign my paychecks. I had my
input, but my superiors decided to go in another direction. I had a choice
to leave my current position or make things work. Since I have two kids in
college, a mortgage and 2 car payments, I decided to make things work. So
unless you are willing to provide me with a weekly paycheck, understand that
this decision was taken out of my hands.  If you can't accept that, then it
was a pleasure doing business with you, but I have bills to pay.
