I am not saying tasting is a free speech thing, but I do see it as something currently legal, and don't see a way to make it a crime without adversely effecting the rest of the system.

It is perfectly legal, and no viable remedies are known other than making it illegal. The other option is to let the tasters and fast flushers continue unabated until it impacts service to such an extent that public outcry forces the government to step in. Seems to be a classic anarchy v democracy issue, with Arin firmly seated, on their hands, in the anarchy camp. -- Roger Marquis Roble Systems Consulting http://www.roble.com/
