THat was a good one Doc. I would have loved to see the Pfizer banner, but couldn't get on while the server was down.

Thanks again for the great April Fool's joke, even if it was a Pfizer's expense

Topher, go lurk somewhere else, insulting the admin. who spends money to host the site we use for support isn't a way to get welcomed into the community. Grow up. A little heartless and mean to say. >
Lurk sounds so sinister, Mort. We're all in this struggle together. I'd hope this community would welcome differing viewpoints. And I'm sure the administrator is grown up enough to accept a little criticism. It's really not a big deal, though. I just found it odd that a support forum would disparage my medication. I'm really not so mean, actually .

April fool's or not, I did not enjoy looking at the "Happy Pills" logo all day. Antidepressants are not "Happy Pills". There are no "Happy Pills". I felt condescended and trivialized by the very words themselves.

I think the logo showed poor judgment.

Thanks for this!

Folks, while I appreciate some people's sensitivity here, I already explained what the joke was about -- me and pharmaceutical companies in general. It wasn't directed at any individual, nor at any medication (I used the ones Pfizer makes).

While I appreciate you all posting your opinions about it (some more than once), it's really time to move on. Not everyone is going to appreciate everybody's sense of humor. I thank those who appreciated mine! Pfizer Sponsors Forums
