That being said, as I advised earlier, I do think she should stop posting and just become a reader.

Samantha, I suggest you just stick to lurking to gather information from now on. You've said your peace, but unfortunately you won't be able to shake your first couple of threads. By all means continue to use the search function because there are many threads that can answer any questions you might have...but I suggest you just keep quiet.

You're only making that judgment based on public posts. A whole lot more happened in unsolicited PMs.
I'm confident that those who are in a position to make future decisions will make the right ones for their organizations. That's all I'm going to say about it.
