Thanks for that, Jon, although you probably should have put the part about who 
this was up at the top, I was a bit confused there.
As far as the "good faith" argument goes, I don't buy it.  "Good faith" is 
what you take from your church or religious society and apply to your life; 
it is not what you use as a substitute for intelligence and an understanding 
of your limits of law.
