I don't know about the "process issue", but I appreciate the
two previous reply posts.

As for me: I have a couple of friends who have had the
surgery and swear by it. My Optometrist buddy from college
warned us off of the scalpel type RK of years past, telling
us to wait for the laser version and see how that develops.
He now says it is fine. But, at our recent reunion, we were
all at the age where we are holding papers out at arms
length or taking off our distance glasses so we can read. I
have not yet gone for bifocals, but my two older siblings
have, as have a couple of buddies my age. I tried on a pair
and cringed. That will probably change in another couple of
years. But, with regard to lasik surgery, if you have
presbyopia (sp?), and get lasik surgery to cure your
distance vision, you might then need reading glasses. So, I
am again holding off on the advise of my Optometrist buddy
(and some technical articles I have read) to see when the
next research turns to reality (and somebody else serves as
guinea pig), so I can cure distance problems without
inflicting myself with the need for reading glasses.

OK. Let's consider it in terms of how it effects the
admininistration and moderation of misc.taxes.moderated.
Surely it can be consdered as a process issue for this
group? And it quite important to it.

I mean, why else would these two messages be permitted if
process issues are not relevant to the topic?

OK, so it's not on topic, but I want to hear about the lasik
in detail. I am considering it myself.
