I've been lied to in writing before, so I'm slightly underwhelmed. I'm not saying it's not positive, but I'm saying that talk is cheap, while most written commitments made by anyone in this industry are not worth the paper they're printed. I don't know where e-mails fit on the scale next to the other two.

What's positive about this is that it could force the MEC to make a commitment of this nature as a group. It's really not too much to ask for that they promise not to make Section 1 worse than it already is, is it? Then again, even that would merely add a promise that may or may not be complied with because of "unforeseen" circumstances. Which makes it kind of interesting in terms of local politics, or MEC politics, but that's about it.
