Cyrille the Fever (sic) / Ginger <insert your own silly non de plume> Fish,

Your accusations, deputations and (meta) manifestos directed to this 
list in recent times are at best tiresome and at worst the product of a 
under informed mind with a feeble grip on such salient issues as:

Public Administration;
Industry Self Regulation;
Consumer Protection Law; and
Marketing Ethics.

An Abat-jour Ginger Poisson (aka Blind Ginger Fish) could see through 
your hazily sketched lines of logic, grubby accusations and (virtual) 
Kangaroo court constructions.

Grow up please. From the Californian hot tub

-DGT
