Piet,
Thanks for the grammar clean-up! Though I'm not sure about the
distinction you are making between "complies" and "will comply".
I'll have to run that one by the lawyers. Just kidding. :-) But
I will run it by some others here just to be sure we aren't taking
the law unto ourselves, so to speak.
