Sorry Bill I couldn't help it- it's more like I harp on this- but not as often
anymore, and thanks to Larry I'm sure I'm not the only one whom cracked open 
NFPA 45 for the first time today and found some numbers relating to common 13 
hazard classifications.

Hey Larry, when are you guys going to stop adding stuff to 13 (2016)?

Regards,
Surely
