Yeah some of that stuff is total bullshit. It's one of the reasons that I cound myself slowing drifing away with wanting to be involved in the department. I'm not sure if my opinion matters, and I know I havn't been there long enough to really know some of the bull shit, but this is my two cents.

I bet you can guess who this is haha, if not, just post and I'll tell you.
