[Histonet] Ventana Benchmark XTs

Tue Dec 2 13:19:21 CST 2008

Mr. Della Speranza, I respect what you have done for the histology community
and we have had pleasant conversations in the past but you can not speak for
the Histonet members. You act as if I am hiding my identity to create havoc
and disruption. I have not done this nor will I do this. I have been on
histonet for many years and I will continue to do so. As I explained in my
previous posts my current employer does not want any opinions, help, or
questions associated with the laboratory. That is the only reason that I
have chosen to remain anonymous. Would it make anyone feel better if I made
up a fake name and lab as my signature?  I will continue to post and speak
freely without breaking any rules of this listserver. If I respond or ask a
question, those who find my years of experience not "credible" then
I apologize.
