Everything Tall Allen has written on this site is exhaustively researched, clear, concise, and extremely helpful. What an asset he is.

[Justfor_]

Speaking of "assets", a very brief compilation of the "exhaustively researched, clear, concise, and extremely helpful" writing examples of his:

a) There is NO (later changed to "not validated") PSADT bellow PSA of 0.1.

b) First PSA test after RP at 3 months, NOT earlier.

c) Lesions less than 5mm will not show on PSMA PET/CT.

d) Nothing will show up on PSMA PET/CT bellow PSA of 0.5 (lately amended by: "unless there is a rapid PSADT" - which took him some 3 years to realize and partially contain the therein expressed misinformation by this amendment).

Your point??????

[Nordman in reply to maley2711]

I admire and respect his knowledge, as well as appreciating his assistance.

[maley2711 in reply to Nordman]

my question was to justfor_ .. I agree with you.

[Justfor_ in reply to maley2711]

Sorry, no "author's message". Please try to make, anything you can, out of it.

There is one here though:

[maley2711 in reply to Justfor_]

Why not be more direct about your critique of someone???? Deniability?

[Justfor_ in reply to maley2711]

Critique or praise is left to the reader to decide. I only state the undeniable facts.

[maley2711 in reply to Justfor_]

NOT sure what your "undeniable facts" are. Not a mindreader re your opinion of TA's contributions.

[maley2711 in reply to Justfor_]

Ok, you appreciate his help, but you are a nitpicker for perfection???

[Justfor_ in reply to maley2711]

Replace: "for perfection" with "against erroneous nonsense" and you have arrived at your destination.

[maley2711 in reply to Justfor_]

while you of course are perfect in what you say? You excuse no unintentional errors?

[Justfor_ in reply to maley2711]

Don't you have anything better to do? You can take up some hobby if you have spare time to fill.

Everybody has different tastes---that's why there is chocolate and chocolate.

FYI, and since you seem to prefer absolute precision and infallibility, "therein" is one word, not two.

[Justfor_ in reply to mangeycritter]

Thanks, corrected.

[MrG68 in reply to mangeycritter]

hhhmmm not really. There's Swiss, and then maybe Belgian. The rest don't really matter.

[MrG68 in reply to mangeycritter]

Not being critical but, you posted a title .. 'Lupron Altarnatives'

Just saying. 😁

Peace out everyone.

[NanoMRI in reply to Justfor_]

Based on my experiences (once a HU guideline): usPSA testing extremely important and valuable; timing of usPSA testing after RP is accurately based on simple half-life calculation - not arbitrary number of months; I learned seven years ago there is value in imaging at 0.03. All the best to all of us navigating this disease.

[R1166 in reply to Justfor_]

Guess your ego just couldn't bear last post of gratitude for TA (102 replies!)

[Justfor_ in reply to R1166]

Correct, but on my part I got an English spell-checker, a failed mind-reader and a wannabe psychologist. Excellent catches, I would say. Please keep them coming.

[EchoII]

Sorry if I offended anyone.

[leo2634]

I look for Tall Alan's answers first while scrolling the questions. Thank you TA for all of your research and knowledge on all of our behalf. Never give up Never surrender Leo

[Stephen399b in reply to leo2634]

Absolutely agree. No-one is infallible but in this horrible disease TA is a huge and much appreciated source of sensible information

[HotRod4321]

Hear! Hear!

(For the silly responses above: There! There!

Godspeed!

[caltexman]

I always read TA's commentary.

[garyjp9 in reply to caltexman]

Ditto

[Yokohama2023]

Couldn’t agree more .. TA has helped alot of people on this board including me and I appreciate it. The worst thing possible would be for someone who doesn’t contribute or help much to discourage him from helping more people so please keep it to yourself and or at least be polite and respectful in your opinions. I know a lot of you are also helpful with different opinions and I respect that but he deserves to be held in a high regard and not badgered and disrespected.. After all most here have a common goal. Thanks TA!

[Justfor_ in reply to Yokohama2023]

In case your post was addressed to me, please be informed that TA has frequently expressed himself against ad hominem. If you have anything to say regarding the four points I initially raised, you are welcome to do so. Instead, by using ad hominems you are not doing him any service, but rather a disservice.

"Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments that are fallacious. Often nowadays this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. This avoids genuine debate by creating a personal attack as a diversion often using a totally irrelevant, but often highly charged attribute of the opponent's character or background. The most common form of this fallacy is "A" makes a claim of "fact," to which "B" asserts that "A" has a personal trait, quality or physical attribute that is repugnant thereby going entirely off-topic, and hence "B" concludes that "A" has their "fact" wrong - without ever addressing the point of the debate. Many contemporary politicians routinely use ad hominem attacks, which can be encapsulated to a derogatory nickname for a political opponent."

"The various types of ad hominem arguments have been known in the West since at least the ancient Greeks. Aristotle, in his work Sophistical Refutations, detailed the fallaciousness of putting the questioner but not the argument under scrutiny..."
