Hey Cap'n,

I do not understand how you could possibly make a remark like that. What do you

mean by stating that De Smets' record isn't all success stories?? Which ones

haven't been??? Certainly none that I am aware of. Haven't you read his just

published paper? I know of one older gentleman - a patient of Koen's- who had a

fractured femoral head. He was not the best candidate for a resurf and Koen was

the first to tell me. However the gentleman is quite happy with his large head

MOM device. I DID remark that Dr De Smet is not afraid of litigation as I do

believe - apparently as you do- that it could possibly make a difference.

Now now, Cap'n. No need to put him down needlessly or bash the very good

Belgium doc. I know that you are a miracle story, too!!!

Many surface hippies no longer post because they have put the past behind them.

For the time being I am compelled to try to offer to help others because my life

is so changed. I WAS told I'd never climb or cycle hard again. Life is indeed

a hoot once more!!
