"Touchy" may not begin to describe it. I think we are already seeing
that! More like downright aggressive and definitely inclined toward
litigation, I'll wager.

Thank you for your wise counsel, Barb. I needed that. I have a history of
hearing the battle call, then bounding onto my white horse, trying to
course off in four different directions to save the world. Not only must
we pick our battles, but we need to choose our semantic weapons very
wisely, if we intend to win this one!
