>Mitch, > I appreciate your comments. Here is my thinking >1. The L list is for the Meditech user and vendor community. I believe >the press release was relevant news. Gil did also. [Mitch Responds: ] He can do what he wants with the L. It is his list. That doesn't make it ethical. >2. The information about the litigation is public information according >to US law and is available in full online [Mitch Responds: ] True, if you know where to look, or if you have it foisted upon you during normal online use. >3. If you were about to purchase a product from a vendor and that vendor >was being sued for copyright infringement, isn't that something you'd >want to know about? [Mitch Responds: ] I would. But I wouldn't come to the L to find out that information, it would come up as a normal part of researching a company I was doing business with. I could see the press release if the allegations had been proven, but they have not. At this point that's all it is, allegation. My whole point is that I believe that the L is the improper place for this information at this time. And here's why: We have an imminent bad situation on the horizon, and I am surprised it hasn't taken place yet. The situation is two vendors using the L as their personal mudslinging pen. It's only imminent and not actual because the other vendor seems to be taking the high road and not responding in this forum, or perhaps Gil/other moderators haven't let the response come through trying to prevent this from happening, who knows. Right now, the L is one sided in the favor of the vendor that got their press release through first. If you guys want to duke it out, fine, do it in the courts, not in the L. I have absolutely nothing against the product and support you guys give to the industry. It is top notch. The press release seemed very one sided, in favor of Iatric Systems, as it should be, coming from them. It also seemed like the intent was to make sure the L beware of the other litigant, which is petty in my opinion. This whole thing is leaving a sour taste in my mouth; I thought you guys were above that level.

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Considering Iatrics has a fine newsletter that goes out monthly, I'm of the opinion that the initial post would have been best served there. If Iatrics is so bent on besmirching the names of those involved in the litigation they could have even published a special edition of this newsletter. I don't believe this forum should be used to badmouth others, regardless of third party situations they may be involved in, especially considering this particular litigation isn't finalized and the parties mentioned have not been proven to be "guilty" of anything. Wouldn't it be best to not say anything, lest what you say be used against you? I'm not sure how I, if I were a judge, would view the announcement by Iatrics to a large group of healthcare workers. Was the announcement approved by lawyers to be disseminated via the L? Had a question been asked in the L regarding those mentioned, I could see that conversation leading to a "oh yeah, they are involved in a litigation with Iatrics for such and such". But an announcement from Iatrics directly to the L smells of an ulterior motive to me.

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Hiya, Mitch! And the rest of you NPRiddlers! Nope, I don't consider the posting a boast of any kind - merely a courteous effort to inform a host of Meditech users of litigation which involves an active member of the Meditech community. That's what it has to do with the "L". I deem it a much better manner in which to be made aware of the legal action than to read of it in some obscure newsletter. I don't believe any of the Iatric Systems staff could ever be accused of "boasting" - though it's certainly justifiable were they to do so. You won't find a more professional, sincere and knowledgeable crowd of pros within one organization anywhere else in Meditechia. Many other entities have employees who are similar in nature and demeanor...but the Iatric Systems folks as a group - exceptional. Ya'll have a great day out there.
