You can count on me to help you push. This corrupt organization has taken the money of honest, hardworking MTs for years. The only thing they care about from the American MT is getting his or her does. Both the AHDI and MTIA are proving themselves to be irrelevant, self-serving dinosaurs. Let's push them right over the cliff.

What you say makes more sense than anything I have seen on this board. As far as the Indian MTs doing it for cheaper: When you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.....
