If you've been here 8 years, does he owe you anything for the research profitted off you and your contemporaries?

I do. but I think you might have just dissed the monerators there.> If anyone would care to answer: Exactly what is it that you find it necessary for Dr. Bob to be here?

Huh?> He has no duty to make you happy.

Really, that's what I was hoping he could do for me. How disappointing.> In the 8 years I've been posting here, I have never seen Dr. Hsiung give medical advice. What else do you need him for?

My car needs washing.

Most of the time, not at all. Lately, it pisses me off.
> So far, I've asked this question with other words. No one has attempted to answer it. If you cannot answer this fundamental question, I don't see that there is much to discuss. I think there is a mob mentality here, and I wish people would just talk about themselves rather than allude to some global consensus.

He doesn't do much for me personally, but as a citizen, if Dick Chaney resigned, you can bet W's handlers would fashion a statement for the president to offer so as to reassure the masses that our country was in order without Halliburton man. I feel that I have a right to expect that the country's executive govern. Unfortunately, Bob doesn't govern here anymore like he did when you were first attracted to this place. It would be nice if he told us why he doesn't and why he has not intention of doing so again, even when there is a problem.
