Yes, please. Enough legislation aleady! Let the market decide if Donnie

something I don't like under my set of standards (i.e., make a trade with
Doug), so let's create legislation that impacts everybody." Please, no more
tears and no more legislation.  I did not get RER's original email, so
thanks Jeff for forwarding on.  The existing rules work quite well, thank
you.
