    I can vouch for that. At one meeting, the Charles Rep was particularly
    obnoxious in pushing for heavier shield gage material. I suggested to him
    that he was dangerously close to suggesting restrictive trade practices.
    You could have heard a pin drop!
    Then the meeting moved on to other matters and nary a peep from the Charles
    rep. (<VBG>
