Very good observation @Joe. Without getting into the Public Governance trenches, we shall be sidelined to ranting online while the *clueless *are making decisions on our behalf.

Most of the people I have met in Consumer protection only understand how to protect consumers from expired Blue Band and Bread NOT technology matters.
