Well if it's a pissing match you want, I won't have any part of it. I choose to stick with the facts, not the high and mighty attitude of your employer. Some small labs (none I am aware of) might want this mark, but from those I have heard from it is mostly those in industry. They are the ones who will make out by cost savings and savings in time. As for the government stepping and stopping the "monopoly", this is one of our laws to encourage competition and growth. Perhaps you work out of a communist country. The "little" guys may not have a market share on experience but neither does your employer anymore. Experience alone will not gain acceptance for a mark, something you (or your employer) may have forget also play's into the equation. CUSTOMER SERVICE
