I'm sorry Al I can't comment on our industry in the 70's. I was playing

I hope they respond before the dementia gets worse.

Fines should be a last resort AFTER we have had time to rectify the
situation.
That Toronto article looks very interesting, and if their numbers are
right it would be a savings in the long run.
