Flaming/Flame Wars
Flaming is reacting to someone's board posting or PM in a hostile manner by publicly chastising the person or bombarding the person with nasty posts or PM's. Flaming may occur to users that engage in behavior that violates what is considered proper board netiquette. A flame war occurs when two or more users flame each other in an escalating manner that threatens to continue unabated. If you notice a flame war developing just notify the moderator or adminitrator and let them handle it. Do not take part in flame wars. If you do you will be banned even if you did not start it :-)

Mallinckrodt, Watson, Knoll, Abbott, etc. will not watch their fortunes evaporate. Chronic pain advocacy groups will lobby. As hydro is one of the best selling drugs in America, the drug distributors won't just sit back and watch their profits nosedive.
This is good PR for the DEA who has to say *something* about the hydro abuse. They'll make it seem like they care, but not do anything about it.
It is such a popular drug with so many legit uses- the percentage who abuse it is so small. I just can't see this happening, it would put a ridiculous strain on patients. It would also make hydrocodone much less popular, as a doctor would be more likely to rx percocet, seeing as (s)he has to write a CII anyway.
But if this does happen, welp, I'll switch to codeine and Stadol. Would be a big disappointment, but I don't think it will happen- and if it does, it will take them forever.
Just my 2 cents, but my gut feeling is they will not go through with this. It's a scare tactic.
