Re: "The ITC is our last hope. Are you optimistic about it?"
How can I be optimistic about it when we've replayed these "last hurdle scenarios" over and over. Just check our posting histories. Current postings sound like replay after replay. You'd think current posters are guilty of plagiarism, simply regurgitating old postings with a few changes in exclamation points.
I repeat myself when I say that these posting would provide great PhD thesis material for someone interested in group magical think.
