Yes---and I suppose we could extend that to everytime they shake a hand going into the theater or speak to another person while they are standing in line at a grocery store.

I PERSONALLY think that a line needs to be drawn somewhere. A standard has to be set. BUT----I would be very interested to understand just how far others would think it appropriate to extend it---you would accept a politician's kid?----what about their inlaws? How about close family friends? What about their hairdressers?

Oh......and by the way...........what happened to the READY ON DAY ONE.....35 years of experience........I know how to make the system work thingy? Guess she didn't understand the rules after 35 years-----then when could we expect her to finally "get" it?
