Bottom line, I'm addressing the issue, but I'm not asking a player to remove a bandaid. But, as usual, when in Rome, check your local listings.

I'm in the process of becoming one, and I am not quite sure I would agree with this. However if it was, there would be massive amount of contributory negligence on the part of others that would help you.
