Thank you Monk for the great information and links that you shared. (and the article links you provided too, Sandy-girl)
Not to worry, I didn't feel like you were casting aspersions by any means, I really appreciate your perspective. There is a lot of truth in your words
You also don't have to apologize for "hijacking" the thread. LOL. This is relevant to what we were writing about in our trip report. I really reading enjoy discussions that form from our observations. Especially something that is important and educational like this.
So please keep it coming
