There is nothing broken about NESDA, yet! It has been working well,and is being tuned up. There might be a very exciting NPSC this year,if certain things happen,or don't! Leroy: The solutions to your problems are available,and if you want to blame Wal mart, or NESDA, fine, but lets not hear anymore about it,unless YOU have a solution! Good luck and we ARE here to help!
