Not too surprising but the saddest thing is that there are a couple of people trying to turn these forums into a sort of ODWire extension site and they are being allowed to flood these forums with their one minded view of things.
You've got to be kidding me. Read through that thread, netmag, and then you can come back and comment about what you think on the topic. Well, you can't read it; you're not an OD.
The poster of that thread, [Byron] Newman, OD, graduated optometry school in the mid 1950s. To say that he is out of touch with reality would be the understatement of millennium. He, for whatever reason, never responded to the responses to his post, most of which were not very understanding of his claim. Some simple math was all that was needed to show that it was basically nonsense. When people starting making comments that were much less than flattering about Dr Newman, probably in response to his disappearance, the moderator decided to shut it down. It was going absolutely nowhere. I'm not the moderator on ODWire, but I can say with reasoable certainty that the disrespect shown to an "elder statesman" in optometry was the "mysterious" reason it was shut down.
