Hey Adam,
I'm surprised that no one has stated the REAL problem regarding this issue.
It's not the insurance companies and it's not the sanctioning clubs.  They are
working within fixed constraints so that they can put on a show or remain in
business.

Now we'll talk about who is at fault.  Many of you may be the cause and don't
realize it.  And you probably won't like this being thrown in your face.  Too
bad.  You reap the seeds you sew. 

If you've ever sued for or accepted a settlement for suffering in excess of
actual monetary damages, then YOU are the reason for all the regulation.  If
you've ever been on a jury and voted to compensate the paintiff in excess of
actual monetary damages, then YOU are the reason for all the regulation.  If you
are a lawyer who as sued for a sum greater than actual monetary damages (like
V.P. hopeful John Edwards), then YOU are the reason for all the regulation.   If
you supported or voted for legislation that allows compensation in excess of
actual damages, then YOU are the cause of the regulation.  If you've voted for a
candidate that supports compensation in excess of actual damages, then YOU are
the cause of the legislation.

I'll bet that over half of the List members fall into the above categories.  So
stop complaining when an insurance company insists we put up fences, when YOU
are the one who is so eager to punish the insurance companies.
