[BC] EAS

[Jerry Mathis]

Cowboy, do you think that maybe it's time to re-vist EAS on the regulatory 
level? As we both seem to agree on, much has changed since EAS was first 
implemented. There were the things EAS envisioned, and then there's the 
reality, and ne'er the twain did meet.

Maybe it's time to start on EAS ver. 2.0?
