I look at it like this: 'we', collectively, are part of the problem. I'd rather doubt and pessimism originate from deep within the program, than a mouthful of egos on these boards. If you don't see the impact of your negativity on recruiting, then I suppose you'll find an excuse for anything. I'm, of course, in that 90% crowd and I trust in whatever JP decides. But, I can't come on a board glass half empty and pile on the problem. I'd rather pile on you 'glass always half empty' people. My mother taught me well always reminding me that if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it at all. But, then again, it's easy to hide behind a pen.
