But you see thats my point, I from time to time like to get involved in some of the discussions about On-X. I do not hi-jack every valve discussion, nor do I continuosly leave the same contact details of a company. Let me put it another way.
Al, provides a very strong and valid argument for the ON-X. He is obviously a strong and articulate individual who makes his point very well. Sometimes we lack a similar presence who can provide us with a counter argument that can help us attain a more objective/balanced view. I do feel that whilst his points have to be welcomed and can be very helpful/informative, they are always extremely one sided. Quick to mention examples (not in name) of horror stories of other valves but never points to any weaknesses of the ON-X, or any examples of recalls etc.
Of course people must make their own minds up, but whether we like it or not, we can be easily influenced by what we read. I'm sure if my cardiologist was on this board he could list examples of why the 11 year life-span of the ON-X is a reason on its own to be sceptical of it's long term success.
Me, I'm just another punter who wants to make the best possible choices, and be able to provide examples of experiences and pieces of literature that may help others on their way too.
it appears to me (maybe no one else) that you are starting to fixate on Al's motivation a tad much.
Perhaps you are right, but my comments on his motivation are sometimes more tongue in cheek. It's not as if I'm accusing him of having an affair!!
Al, knows that I am not JUST trying to 'have a go', and I'm sure he'll be along soon to put me in my place
OK, if you say so!
