Dear MI,
(Not sure if this has always been Marcus, or other folks.) This situation has happened a number of times before. A new company with a product or idea has come on to this board to announce themselves. This board is comprised mostly of professionals that work in the field. We as a group tend to tell it like it is concerning our field. Some companies take what we have to say and use this information to their advaneforum.xxxe. Others tend to get defensive and lose sight of the valuable, if critical, feedback we offer. Responding in a more defensive fashion tends to elicit more criticism.
Believe me, over the years we've seen some real doozy ideas and had business heads screaming at us because we don't seem to see things from their point of view. (So far, in your or your associates replies above, you have questioned my mental state and my competency) But we love our profession and what we do and want to protect it, and tend to know things through training and experience that many business-minded folks may not have grasped.
It is a beautiful story you have shared regarding your grandfather and your desire to spread massage to the masses. I wish you the best. I also hope you will choose to see the responses you get here as constructive criticism, or at least appreciate the inside view you are getting of what U.S. professional massage therapists think about what you are offering. What you do with this information is up to you.
Cheers, boofdorf
