As for the Navistar ISP, heck, I'm sure that they are either protecting us
from something bad, or that they just generally know better than we do.
It's probably best to be quiet and let the continuing erosion of personal
freedoms continue. Go back to your TVs and shopping malls, and don't
resist - the marketeers and lawyers have everything under control. Be happy
and pleasant!

BTW, thanks to everyone who provided opinions and info on my mini-rant last
week about Meade quality fears. There was a lot of useful info (for me) in
these posts. I'll keep fearlessly plugging away, even in the face of the
latest thread about the RS232 fuse-blowing problem caused by Meade's goofy
powered design... ;-)
