I didn't read anything regarding governmental interference into Earl's message
either. However the message reminded me of the increasing governmental interference
in packaging of products like fuel.<br>

You can't legislate against ignorance/stupidity/et al, but state and federal
officials keep trying to protect us from ourselves. Just wait until they
decide that model airplane fuel is even more dangerous than gasoline (it
isn't). Then we will they will ban it for our own good. Sorry for the
tirade, but Earl's response triggered my %$#@ button regarding government
control of our lives. <br>
