Hi All-

Several years ago, I voiced the same concerns in a letter to Tom ...
... I received a polite thanks for my concerns.

Me too. But don't give up. If a lot of us carp, perhaps we'll truly get

the current trend is a negative one. I think it's not yet a terminal one,
but it could be, if we don't get through to these guys-
