Wow,
For a change I agree with Timo on most points. I remember receiving my
AOA and it was important to me. Caution should be urged however. Does
anyone remember the court from Hell at Gulf War III? Meridies decided to
do 9 months of back work during court. It was ridiculous. Perhaps that
strangest of oxymorons should be used.....common sense.

Yours,
