Paul, I really appreciate your thoughts and will chew on them a bit. In California we have more tree hugger crazies per square ft than any place in the universe. Opening up to potential problems would probably make sense in most of the world but when you live in an area where people will hide in trees for months on end to save a tree, you get a little gunshy. This includes the bloated bureacracy we have, so while alerting them seems like sense, I took the old fashioned approach and told the offending party that they WILL be held accountable and documented it with both her and my attorneys. Nevertheless, I will ask my attorneys advice about your suggestion and will add even more hay bales in my defense
Jim
