Although it would be overly-paranoid, I hope, to object to statements 
like the one above, it is clearly difficult to make certain statements 
about what is and is not legal. For example, it is my understanding that 
the PTG's official market research must be limited to out-of-date 
information. We can only ask questions like 'what was your income in 
1997', or 'what was your hourly rate in in the first quarter of 1998'.
