convey the fact that the person in question had questionable research and
development. If an item as harmless as a prosthetic foot could have such
poor qualities and not take the amputees viewpoint on weight into

his certification revoked is just another reason to stay clear.
Let’s try not to clog everybodies e-mail with this subject as has been done
in the past on topics such as “Orthotics as a noun” the point was made so
