The mailing list certainly attracts questions from people who could look up
the information they are seeking, which can be annoying to some of us, even
when we have the patience and take the time to answer.
It is also true that we should expect a certain level of expertise from
cytometrists and laboratories involved in clinical analyses; in most
instances, this is demanded by organizations responsible for accreditation.
The response which prompted most of the discussion in this case was about as
close to a flame as we have gotten on the mailing list, and I was pleased to
see that the responsible individual apologized for the tone of the remarks
made without abandoning the point of view expressed.
In truth, although flow cytometry has matured, none of us has all the
answers, perhaps because most of us remain close to the cutting edge of
science. It only takes a second or two to discover that a posting is
uninteresting and move on, and I think it's worth the time sifting through
it all to preserve the sense of community which prevails among those of us
who participate.
