I'm glad to hear that , and my apologies for a hasty assumption to the contrary.

Your point about the availability of the abstracts to certain groups illustrates why these types of injustice persist. The only people who really suffer from them are the ones with little or no power to effect any change in policy.

While on the topic , here's another source of investment info that we should all have free , immediate access to : FDA Advisory Commitee meetings. Sure , we can pay some online company $150 to view it , or pay even more to travel to D.C. to attend in person , but as taxpayers shouldn't we be getting a free online view , in real time ? I'm sure there's an official excuse , like that PDUFA fees pay for the AC mtgs. , not taxpayers , but whatever the excuse is , it stinks. The main reason they won't do it is because they want to minimize public scrutiny of the inner workings of the FDA , for fear of arousing multiple " Provenge eruptions " .
