I agree with you MD Deerhunter...unfortunaly, DE has done same thing...I think it enables mis-conduct like you said....and another bad side....it removed the social atmospher I love so much about the season....where you can BS with a few folks for an hour or so about the days events....and never known thier name....I just liked the old check stations...and the stories around them....sign of the times I guess....less expensive to operate a phone system.....sad
