I'll play too. The SAO website doesn't look like it's been officially updated since it's copyright in 2011. The last forum post was in September 2012. While I respect the effort, the organization which began with such fanfare appears to be as quiet as the existing organizations that have been pilloried for their lack of both communication and effecting substantive change.
While I have all the respect in the world for your accomplishments, Wes, sniping at me isn't going to do anything to improve the lot of opticians anywhere. I've paid my dues, with both time and money, by serving my profession through involvement with the OAA, OAV,COA and as adjunct faculty in the short-lived Opticianry program at Northern Virginia Community College. I don't need anointing. I've earned my place in the discussion, and I'll ask you to be, at the very least, civil.
