In fact, this morning NPR had a report of a firm which is somehow involved
in insurance removing flags from employee desks to enforce a preexisting
policy.  Over the weekend the firm relented and in fact bought flags for
employees.  I think the firm may have been in Florida.

Hey, everyone.  I think we need to lighten up on Mike.  He sent the
message
asking us if he had heard the radio report correctly.  I would hope that
Mike, who I believe many of us know and consider a friend, could ask
this
question of us.
