Thank you for pointing out the ambiguous wording in my post. I have tightened it up a bit.

Are you accusing me of being one of your ostriches? You might want to look back at my posts - I am one who has questioned the low count in the statistics. Sure there are non-residents and non-guests in some of the pools some of the time and maybe there are pools where this is a bigger problem than others but what is the real magnitude of the problem and what is the real cost to implement some of these ideas?

What would you label someone who swings a sledgehammer to kill a fly?
