Thanks for correcting me John,I have now corrected/edited that post to more accurately and properly reflect the time frame I was attempting to be referring to.
I had incorrectly -assumed- you had been retired somewhat longer. and it certainly was not my intent to have it sound as if I thought you were out of touch. Mea Culpa.
In referring to laws being "set aside" I was speaking about laws that while still on the books are no longer enforced (for whatever reasons), of which, I think most of us have either encountered or have heard about. I guess a phrasing like I see when I try to research a "Wright Pattman Act" [as I remembered the law (I think we are speaking about) as "Robinson-Patman Act"], for what I had intended to convey would have been; "Monopolistic business practices law rulings have been limiting the reach of private securities fraud lawsuits under section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, with the effect that in the last 10 years very little realistic enforcement for the end user or consumer's benefit has occurred in the USA, with more successful anti-monopolistic protection actions taking place in the EU courts than in the USA courts".
While I gladly admit to cynicism, I am surprised to find that you consider questioning my maturity, but far be it that I would consider myself as to be so mature as to be above reproach.
