You have found the forum/blog, Missed Perceptions. The purpose of the MissedPerceptions Forum/Blog is to be entertaining, informative, and in some cases controversial. You may not like or agree with everything that I post here. I do intend to engage in critical thinking and to give you an original view point that you cannot find anywhere else....hence a Missed Perception.

Primarily, Missed Perceptions will devote itself to advancing the technical knowledge of the treatment of water for Industrial/Commercial, Pool/Spa, and Residential Water Softening applications. With this goal in mind we will invite questions from the general public, and invite answers from professionals who have spent many years in these fields.

We will have two blogs. "My Professional Perceptions" will be related to the treatment of water. "My Non-Professional Perceptions" could be anything that sparks my interest.

We welcome your participation in Missed Perceptions.

Missed Perceptions is sponsored by The Water Treatment Store.

I am often asked why I resigned from the Board of Directors of the Association of Water Technologies (AWT). Basically, it was because I started up this forum/blog software. The Board of Directors of the Association of Water Technologies (AWT) told me that that I would have to take www.MissedPerceptions.com down or resign from the Board of Directors. So, I resigned. Rather than constantly having to tell this story, I have decided to post the time line here:

AWT's First Demand Letter

My First Response

AWT's Second Demand Letter

My Second Response

AWT's Decision

Thus, I decided to resign publicly by Press Release which sent my Letter of Resignation out to 90,000 news agencies world wide. This allowed everyone to see how the quality of the leadership of this once fine organization has declined. I thought that the best way to deal with the tyranny of their personal attack on me was to shine a bright light upon it.

I was in the US Army or US Army Reserve from 23 July 1971 until 4 November 2006. Obviously, I believe strongly in defending the freedoms that many have died to preserve. A Forum/Blog is all about the most sacred of those freedoms, our freedom of speech. The determination to voice your point of view without regard to the approval of others is the difference between being a soldier for freedom and becoming a serf.

WELCOME DISGRUNTLED FORUM USERS

Are you getting tired of your organization's Forum?
Are there too many rules for you?
Are you not allowed to speak your mind?
Are you tired of the whiners who don't know what "delete" means?
Are you tired of being threatened by someone like Seinfeld's "Soup Nazi"?
"NO MORE SOUP FOR YOU."

Then bring your discussions here.

We can provide an alternative.

Here are the capabilities of this site:

All the Forums that I have established here are public and fully moderated, meaning that you cannot post unless I approve it. BUT, I can also set up Private Forums that you can see, but not enter unless you know the password. These can be moderated or not moderated. Next, I can set up INVISIBLE Forums that you cannot even see unless you are a member and cannot enter unless you have the password. These, too, can be moderated or not moderated.

I can designate you to be the moderator of your own forum.

These can be for industry groups like the ListServ is. They can be for your company personnel. Or they can be for you and your customers.

Additionally, you can control how often you wish to be notified of postings to the Missed Perceptions Forums that you are a member of...if at all.

Equipment and chemical suppliers are welcome. Who knows more about your products than you do? Discuss your product (briefly) then through in a hyperlink back to your website for those who want to learn more.

Oddly, Nothing can be deleted from the ListServ. I can go back and take something off of MissedPerceptions.com if it is objectionable.

Overview

GENERAL:
This is a series of forums on various water treatment topics. All of the forums may be viewed by both members and guests. The Overview Forum does not accept posts, but all of the others do.

Current members of the Association of Water Technologies (AWT) are encouraged to join as are those associated with the large water treatment companies which are currently not eligible to join AWT. For those in AWT, think of this as a "ListServ" where you can actually communicate with customers and potential customers, post job listings, find those looking for jobs in our industry, and advertise your training seminars and new products.

The difference between our forum and other forums are:
1. You will not get threatening emails from pompous Board Members reprimanding your conduct, and telling you about their imaginary friends who were offended in some strange way by your post.
2. This is a public not a private forum. As such, it has to be fully moderated by the administrator for liability reasons. Thus, your posts will not go up instantly.
3. Forums can be added and deleted easily to meet demands. If you have a need for a private, invitation only forum that is password protected, we can do that for you. You can appoint your own moderator for that forum, but the site administrator will still have access. Vendors might want to consider this option.
4. Vendors are never censored. We welcome their discussion of products that they are bringing to the market place.
5. Joining is free to you since we are funded by ad revenues.

Members are expected to complete their profiles to obtain posting rights. This is so we know that all members are real and not spammers. Guests can remain anonymous if they desire. Forum moderators will not be charged for membership, and are not required to post a profile. Company members cannot be forum moderators. Large companies and employees of large companies are not prohibited from membership. Customers of TheWaterTreatmentStore.com are automatically granted membership in MissedPerception.com. Hyperlinks to your website and email address are permitted, since we don't consider advertising to be a dirty word here.

NEW FORUMS:
If you have an idea for another water treatment forum that you would like us to host, contact us by e-mail.
