Vana et al. I noticed Richard posted two requests, so perhaps I might add
an additional one. I, for one, would really really appreciate it if people
would read more carefully or re-read once or twice before responding.

I stated as clearly as possible that I wasn't seriously recommending
limitations.

Come to think of it...

..now I'm wondering a) if I wasn't clear, and b) how I could have
made it clearer. Any suggestions?

[Host's Note: Robert, for what it's worth, I read your comment as a
suggestion too. Your words, "to begin addressing this..." probably made me
think this. ..Rick]
