Hmm, what form do we have today...? Reply Ken, Allyn, WA 11/12/07 I would make that "valid complaints". Those who whine and complain about trivialities should expect no consideration or reform. They shouldn't even expect to be heard (no one has a right to be heard). All they should expect is to be told to shut the hell up. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 1/9/14 Reply Mike, Norwalk 1/9/14 (-; Ken, I think if the whine or otherwise invalid complaint was freely heard and deeply considered, the speedy reform would be "shut the hell up". ;-) Reply watchman 13, USA 1/9/14 Reply Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 11/2/23 Cooperation?
