You obviously know nothing about me - so spare me your sanctimony about consulting - "consultants" are a dime a dozen - I know, as I have been one for some 20 years.

Reasearch on this particular subject (smoking bans) happens to be one of my areas of expertise.

"consultants" are a dime a dozen

I don't think you know anthying about the value of the Engineering consultant Staff' member that work for me. I would be glad if you can get me "a dime a dozen " consultant with an MS/PhD from one of the top 10 schools and a specialization in nanotechnology VLSI. Let me know when you find "dozen" for "a dime" so I can stop paying $$$$$$ and employ a two "dozen" for "a dime" each "dozen".
