I would have assumed this myself until my conversation with Paula. I
thought I was an isolated holdout, and my judgment that moving to CVS
would not be worth the effort I though to be an exceptional one.

The fact that the *first person* with whom the topic came up reported
the identical problems impressed me. Perhaps more than is warranted;
maybe Paula and I are both exceptions and the dice came up snake-eyes.

But I no longer think so.
