Spinlanders,
I understand the reasoning behind admitting vendors into AMMRL. There was hope that the Agilent crisis could be alleviated with their knowledge. Well, I for one do not see that happening. What I do see is that every time an opportunity comes up, they simply hawk their services. Agilent themselves has a VERY helpful Spinsights forum which supplants any need for vendors in AMMRL to solve Agilent-related problems.
In the meantime, with vendors in the list it is no longer possible to have 'private' and frank discussions among lab managers without possibly poisoning our valued relationships with our vendors. I am hereby petitioning the AMMRL ruling Junta to remove all vendors from AMMRL and to restore the historic policy prohibiting their membership.
Sincerely, -Hirsch
