Marvin,
You like to insult people and be rude to them, (me included), then ask me to read your posts, which i have, yet you fail to extend the same courtesy. It is either that, or we are misunderstanding each other.
Your approach seems to be confrontational rather than collegiate.
My belief is that often the award system in some instances needs looking into, particularly in the US. That being said the Oil company BP has just been fined a record in the amount for safety issues at its Texas plant, this is an example of where the law can be useful in encouraging safe practice, it aslo leads to increased profitability too.
