Tom,
Do you like being a human pinata?

Why not entertain us with the reasons your system is safer as
compared to the 3inch letter scheme.

Comparing schemes is the heart of DIR so do us a favor and
explain why  your scheme is better.

As the prez of IANTD I am sure that you can rattle off numeris reasons
to go with the expensive IANTD spec vs the piker 3 inch letter scheme.
