     This one actually came from a true story. Sailors along the gulf coast are aware that you can no longer buy a spiral bound chart kit for our area, even though kits are available for all other parts of the country. The reason for this, as I understand it, is that a certain knumbskull struck an underwater obstruction which did not appear on the chart. It was probably listed in the notices to mariners, but who reads those?
     The knumbskull in question decided that, since the corps. of engineers had not surveyed the whole of u.s. waters every two weeks, he would sue everybody. If you haven't yet been named as a defendant, you probably haven't checked the mail today.
     Consequently, the company which went to the trouble of assembling all the charts relevant to the gulf coast, putting them in a logical and convenient order, and selling them at a price which is much cheaper than the cost of individual charts, has now decided that it's not worth the bother for our area. THANKS NIMROD!
