This is what I had thought was the rule. The "no tripods in Paris" situation has been mentioned here more than once in the past, but Laurent's statement suggested a much broader restriction. Since Laurent was from France, I thought he might be sharing some more recent development than others might have been aware of. Then too, on the possibility that English wasn't his primary language, I was just checking to see if his use of words was intended to be precise or more generic. (Reading words as having a precise meaning is a lawyer's habit that's hard to break after too many years in the business, even though I know most people don't use them that way.) Cheers, Kip
