Dave, HOORAAY! I have been singing that song for a long time and have had many people attempt to put me off insinuating that I was going to allow people to be hurt. My real story is: Let's never lose sight of WHY particular regulations exist and if the reason is revenue generation, then call a spade a spade and get rid of the rules when enough revenue is generated. If there is a VALID reason for the rules, then OK. I don't mean to say all compliance rules are unnecessary, I just mean to say that rules don't exist simply for the sake of rules, they must be continually questioned!! Sincerely, Ron Fotino Compliance Eng. Group Leader Cabletron Systems, Inc.
