Maybe I can expand on your analogy. You are on main street with a huge tank aimed at a building. You are trying to smoke 45 people out of the building. Your strategy is to drive your tank right throught he building firing as you go.
The strategy I would like to see is to leave that tank in posistion and get the relatives of the folks in the building to plead and pursuade those in the building to come out "voluntarily".
Your method might work (ie they can run into another building etc) but once you do it the threat loses its impact. My method has the benefit of working with a minimum of damage and whats more I STILL HAVE THE 24/7 OPTION AVAILABLE
Wooohooo, this could be a huge thread and people might still be coming back to this safe thread for the next hundred years... I'd suggest a Bookmark for future use!
