Everyone gave him grief for just being self-serving (which may have been obvious), but hey, it actually IS in everyone's best interest, -even little old me, with no card worth more than $500- to know that even those cards haven't been altered from a card that used to be worth $50...

--The regulatory solution will always have the potential for corruption
