It's very easy to be cynical about the FCC. It seems that everyone has to follow their rules EXCEPT them; to a point that they have to be brought to court, and they STILL do not follow their rules. Politics as usual (poly=many, ticks=a blood sucking insect) For those of the board family that deal with them face to face on a regular basis, you have great patience and MUST have a good sense of humor!
