I just want to further respond to the gentleman's comments because I agree, we need to be clear on the facts. We will disagree on the policy. The rule specifically states that if you are sending something to a spouse, a child, a parent or a grandparent, you can send down food and medicine. But if you are sending something to an aunt, uncle or cousin, you cannot, and that is what the regulations say. And with respect to anybody in your family, you are prohibited from sending down soap, toothpaste or clothes. So I think that sets the record straight.
