Well, well, OMS just made a God-Like Pronouncement From Above declaring 
their product safe and dropping a bunch of names of people who don't use 
bondage wings any more. How useful.

If I thought they cared, I might ask as to why they have not put their 
engineering prowess to work on creating a product which might actually 
compete against the upstarts like AUL and Halcyon who are, as we speak, 
kicking their butts in the marketplace. Seems kind of odd...
