An exchange has been started on the Forum that I would like to hear a 
complete answer from TJ Swift on.  If you got your answer "from the source" what 
was the answer?  If the exchanger is not for simple air exchange, what is 
Fabulous Ferns doing about the kitchen smells in that part of the restaurant, as I 
suspect it is?

    I would also like to hear TJ Swift's answer about the anti-gay marriage 
petition that he said he was involved with.  Has the petition actually failed 
to get off the ground as I have heard it has?  Have the neo-fascists of the 
conservative right and their spokesperson been trounced by the gay movement?  
Please enlighten me or is it just TS to you?

    What you neglect to mention is that regardless if these businesses were 
smoking or non-smoking establishments, the owners would still be required to 
have a sufficient air exchange capacity. $12K for a filtration system is peanuts 
compaired to the initial cost of installing an air exchange unit for any new 
restaurant that is currently required by city codes. 

    The cost factor is determined wholly by the square footage of the space 
and it's intended use. A retail space of 1000 sq. ft. with an occupancy of 20 
people has less of a need for air circulation than a restuarant or bar of 1000 
sq. ft. and an occupancy of 75 people. With higher occupancy, more air must be 
circulated. Another factor that comes into play is the location of the 
kitchen space, type of equipment in operation (grills, deep fryers, ovens - each 
have their own requirements) and what type of separation there is between 
cooking/preparation area and customers.

    Given all of those factors, to arbitrarily state that the air handling 
system at Fabulous Ferns was exclusively meant to manage smoke may not be 
accurate. That particular area of the bar has a much higher density and therefore 
also requires that more air be exchanged.

    Please, if you would be so kind, speak about what you know. Not what you 
think you know.

    TJ Swift's Answer -

Good advice taken and shot right back at you.

I got my information from the source.

Why don't you walk next door and ask Thune for his version.
