Hello Diane,

I know you would like to see this discussion on the internet.  And here it is.  Invite all of your blogger friend over and let's hash it out right here on SOT.  This is where the abstractors hang out.

I suggest the topic for round table discussion at the NALTEA conference because it is my personal opinion that NALTEA could get in the mix as a vehicle for the abstractors' point of view if that is the will of the membership.  That can be molded at the conference and eslewhere. 

I think it will be great if your crusade gets some traction.  Then the abstractors could maybe focus on the job they do instead of chasing accounts receivable around.
