Two things.  First, thanks for the gratious and kind words; second, my 
compliments of a great rant, and *Lord* knows, I just *Love* a good rant!

You make an *excellent* point about contesting any ticket in court.  I'd add
 a recomendation that you get a lawyer and contest every one.  It costs more 
(up-front) that pleading guilty, but it is almost guaranteed to save you
