Mathias,

Your memory is right on - we did, indeed, sign an open letter.  In addition, I believe that we might have even succeeded in changing the next version of the ATLS bible to reflect that fact.

Never - never - never!

This has been discussed here ad nauseam. Didn't we even sign an open 
letter several years ago to stop this nonsense?
