Dear Michael,

Sorry, we seem to be speaking past each other.  Are you suggesting as long as 
large providers don't adjusting their process there isn't a problem?  We need 
to arrive at a solution for both large and small operations where problems 
clearly exist now.  Are smaller operations any less important?
