[SEL] Stupid people and their insurance

[Bill Dickerson]

On the contrary, although I generally disagree with such rules and
interference, it might just save the hobby as it will keep the insurance
folks at bay.

It's been required in many places here for a great many years and in most
cases has made real professionals out of the steam operators.

It makes one less afraid to be around them and insurance a tad cheaper, I'd
suspect (although those insurance goons will do anything to be able to
increase rates)

It's certainly nothing new! Even folks who work with the steam boilers for
building heat need to be certified and have their equipment inspected - so
what's the diff?

Do you mean to say boiler inspections are now compulsary? You mob up there
are looking down the barrel at the end of your hobby as you know it.Stand up
for yourselves against these rules and regulations.Next you will have to
have insurance and fences. (and after that you will have your firearms
confiscated)
