     Jim, you didn't hit a nerve;  I must not have completed my
thought.  The American Physical Therapy Association is a much, much
bigger organization than the PTG.  The APTA has headquarters in
Washington, DC, and employs lobbyists to influence Congress, the
insurance companies, medical doctors, and the general public.  Even
so, I'd wager you were far from the only one here who hadn't heard of
the other RPT's.  If a big organization like the APTA can't get its
members' moniker known to the public, what chance does a tiny
organization like PTG...     (You get the picture.)
