I didn't pay much attention back then, being more interested in D&D and riding my bike. :-)

However, I don't remember the 70s as a particularly good time for consumers. As an adult, I know we had rules (like Glass-Steagall) that have since been removed. OTOH, I'm pretty sure the Consumer Protection Bureau was started much more recently. Probably at least in part because of the stripping away of rules and protections that were in place in the 70s.

Your post doesn't strike me as partisan in any way. I'd ask for clarification from the board monitor. I used to do that at TMF, and he usually responded to me. Occasionally, he'd see it my way and restore a post (or whatever).
