Chris,
You must understand, as far as MOM's go they have proven to be safe and nothing except for hyper sensitivity to metal ions or an implant that is shedding large amounts of ions because of the angle it was implanted are usually the only complications that occur because of the device being metal on metal. Just because it's a MOM does not make it bad, and again and again, unless it's been installed incorrectly.
Of course the ASR device was a big problem because of the shallowness of the cup.
You must think of how your post would appear to someone who is new, I agree with Pat in what she did, but at the same time understand how you feel, it's tough to have problems like you have, you feel alone, you want to know why it happened, BUT it does no good to blame the whole baby along with the bath water, we need only throw out the dirty bath water.
We're not afraid of the truth, but let's wait to find out what is the truth. For now the news media is only mixing the dirty bath water of the ASR with the good BHR baby, we're not ready to throw both of them out.
