Well, given that I am the postmaster general here, I feel compelled to add to this foray. First, the above will never happen, because most of here are anti-CCHIT, anti-big and expensive EMRs which take two months to learn, and anti P4P.

I am not sure what "hijacking a thread" is, but I think I am viewing a good example here. You are perfectly welcome to post here, but since Al is now unbanned at emrupdate.com (may I say that no one has been banned here either because our moderator would never see fit stifle any discussion here that is not rude or obnoxious) I see no reason why the others at emrupdate.com wouldn't benefit from your conflict.

Nick, what are the rules of engagement over there? Is there a list? Is there a definition of hijacking?

My other question is why is so much emphasis placed on how many posts? It seems quite arbitrary to me.

I am rather nervous given that although I have nowhere near the amount of posts as those on emrupdate, I am the highest poster here and that may make me a hijacker. Hello bmcd and Roy and Paul, et al; do I hijack threads? And, remember I am a moderator. I may not be the powerful one who is Vinny and very deservedly so, but I still have some Harry Potter type magic.

But, who knows, maybe our moderator will become bored with this thread and stop it altogether. To quote him once on the one thread that did get ever so slightly intersting, "We are all on the same team." Sounds like a pretty good quote to me.
