That was one of the examples I had in mind, along with a few
others.  

However, given Paul's extensive legal experience and knowledge
of the details and applicability of export regulations and
associated case law, I apologize for wasting the time of people
on the list by raising this obviously spurious issue.  I am
delighted that, on the basis of that knowledge and experience,
Paul was willing to step in on this issue and assure us that
there is nothing to worry about.
