Duaine,

You really missed the boat on this  one.

She is not saying the things that you are attributing to her.
She is saying she had a realization, an epiphany, if you will,
    after digesting Ed Foote's particular responsibilities in multi-day recordings
    on a regular basis.

She embraced the relevant need for an ETD in Ed's given circumstance,
   and if she were in the same position as Ed,
   it would be a no-brainer decision for her to make regarding the use of an ETD.
That's all that happened here. And it only happened after Ed shared his reality.

But "then", to compound missing the boat, you make unfounded accusations
    by saying:

> … You hypocrite, all this time you kept saying that they are worthless,

I'm kind of tossing you a lifejacket here, but I don't think it's going to help your situation this time.
Acknowledgment of a gross error in judgement on your part seems to me to be your only out.

Sincerely,

Keith McGavern, RPT
