	I've given my inputs to four board members - two of which
	have some empathy for the plight of those now caught inthe
	rather draconion edict of wildcard prohibition.  

	on many levels this strikes me as the functional analog of the
	Kentucky Legislature mandating PI == 3.2

	are you suggesting that the process of climbing out of the inertial 
	well of getting something corrected is a trival exercise?
