brucie - Do not despair! I'm not sure if Ottawa will ever reply but when I wrote the mayor protesting the possible closure of our little, street front library; he wrote back and assured me that it would not be closing. Its still open!

I'm delighted.

As to the submarines (or the state of the military)- Since they are investigating, they probably can't respond. I'm sure your letter was one of many that set the ball in motion. Lets hope the media doesn't let this die.
