Once that is lifted you will get a truer picture of how much dissatisfation (or not) there really is out there. I suspect it is significant, but we'll see.

That man ending his service clearly would not be anything to be upset about. I would think there are millions of people who don't have slick business dealings that could take his place...I'm pondering it myself.
