Ok, I take Anthony to fair and neutral observer, and genuine criticism.
I apologize for saying I don't think John has direct operational
experience tracking abusers. I should have simply explained that my own
experiences tracking abusers were different with respect to costs and

I also apologize for using the word nonsense. I should have explained that
I thought the points were irrelevant. That would have been a less
inflamatory and more information bearing approach.
