The more astute of you may be able to discern my position on certain aspects of pt. ;-) But in the context of ECCIE, let's remember that the IE = Information Exchange. If I read in a review that an incall location reeked of pt, I'm not going to think any less of the provider as that particular flavor of pt doesn't present any health concerns. If I learn that there is PT that could be a vector for serious illness, I'm running the other way. Look at the trainwreck that is
Salem - THAT's some PT I want to know about so I can avoid catching some very serious cooties. Totally different from red eyes & the munchies!
It really is an apples & oranges comparison.
