All of these 'commitments' are in place already, but aren't being followed. The problem is that they *aren't* followed, not that they aren't in place. How to you enforce the unfollowed policies? I'm not following up my end, and people still drive by my house and look at my lawn. I can't stop that (and really shouldn't since I live in a 'free-lawn' neighberhood where lawns are all freely viewed by one another. :) > ....it will take a commitment on your > part and your wife's part to keep the happy cocker-spaniels of the > world happy (even if it does nothing for their bladder control). Yep, but having a committment was never the problem. Keeping the committment in the face of adversity is the problem. (And BTW, it's Jenny the yellow-lab puppy whose now 11 weeks old :) Nate
