    Unfortunately there is limited compliance and no enforcement of the existing ban.

    I agree and was thinking about that today as well. Therefore, I intend to ask Mike to see that there is enforcement, so those who comply are not the only, lonely ones doing the right thing. It is only fair that all comply, and that we suffer equally.
