No, what's getting old is the constant twisting of fact to fit a specific ongoing narrative. We get it, AMA= Bad
Where exactly have they said what you just quoted...."we can't tell you anything"? It's completely disingenuous to make it sound as if they are holding back information, rather than the fact that they don't have any new info to tell. And this of course means they aren't working hard enough, or are incompetent, or don't have "juice" etc etc etc.
The fact is for a select few, there is nothing the AMA will ever do that will be viewed as positive, or enough, or rather too much...it's all a jumble, they are just horrible all around it seems. They could release every data set out there and some would complain it's not enough, or too much, or it's not in a format that's acceptable etc etc etc. Some of the info might be proprietary, but hey, let's look past that. Some of the info is out there, people are just too lazy to find it for themselves. Better yet, they are too lazy to ask for it too. And if they ask for it and can't get access to it, well obviously the AMA is hiding something.
At the end of the day, the membership isn't entitled to every bit of information they ask for...simple as that, IMO. They can ask, but should be prepared to be told no. If they don't like it, they can get involved in a more meaningful way than complaining about it on RCU. Oddly enough I don't see anyone asking for all this information on the AMA blogs. And no, the comments aren't deleted...two minutes of reviewing the blogs show all kinds of comments on there.
By the way, any chance you've asked your new AVP for all of the information you want? What was his response? Wasn't this the guy that was going to change the way things were done down there since the other guy fell out of favor?
