[BC] Public File cautionary story

[Bailey, Scott]

Dan,
  Here's our problem. The rules are not clear, period. Everybody seems
to have a different interpretation of this, including DC lawyers and the
employees at the commission itself.  The best thing for one to do is use
your own judgment. With some of this, there is no right or wrong answers
and it just depends on how an individual wants to interpret it.

I tend to agree.  It's strange, but there are people out there who still
don't have a computer, and even if they went to a library to use theirs,
probably wouldn't know how to use it.
