No I'm not trying to revive an old thread. I see a post I mailed many
days ago has just arrived. Our mail server was upgraded this week (by our
ISP) and it could have been lost in the queue of the old machine. Or
something else.

What simply amazes me is that our elected representatives
can plan and execute so poorly.
When you put people in charge who's mantra is that government doesn't
work, it doesn't work.
I think this was planned and executed a whole lot better than many other

No, what bothers me is your insistence that this review is unbiased and
even-handed, and that you give totally different treatment to positive and
negative reviews (negative reviews: honest; positive reviews: suspicious).
