Yes, Ed pretty well summed it up.  Paul made some interesting comments too.  

To all, thankyou for this discussion it was enlightening for me.  The old saying goes, squeaky wheels get the grease.  Keep it up.  If we remain quiet, then nobody hears.  Hopefully the message will at least be read, by someone, somewhere.
