They grew, un-naturally, over a long time. They suffered the horrendous faults of being created by two faulty processes: 1. evolution 2. intelligent design by a sub-ape-intelligence (multiple committees) So far, we're lucky that what we've got isn't worse (like Hartmut tells us of the German regulations). We're blessed, though, because some of the committee participants do have our interests at heart and occasionally manage to get improvements through the system (like some of these). All the best, Ed
