I agree with all of the above except for the use of the term "violator"..
those folks made a mistake, an honest one, in many cases *after* trying to
figure out how to do it right, if we want to be friendly we shouldn't think
of them as violators. A bit pejorative.
Sort of a minor point and I hope in saying it that any who read this don't
take it as disagreement with Rob, he's spot on. And I bet he agrees with
what I just said too. :-)
