See, that's the thing. If I'm worried about *my* grandmother being forced to eat dogfood (or *my* mother or even *myself*), that would be "personal safety". But if I'm worried about the fact that a given policy will make *anyone's* grandmother more likely to have to eat dogfood, then it's a matter of principle. - jmh CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information or otherwise protected by law.
