Good to see the thread re-opened. When I initiated it I wanted updates on where we were with the APS as I feel it is very important.
As I have mentioned a few times in the past - I really do think we should keep to the thread subject. There is nothing more annoying than thread hi-jacking. (Right, got that off my chest!)
I am not particularly bothered about the case for statutory (compulsory) regulation on this particular thread. I do think that is a matter for another thread. We have commented on that in the past (once or twice I think!)
