Not to say that seemingly endless discussion of this topic isn't REALLY
interesting (the problem is really a sociological one that just *happens*
to extend into the athletic sphere; and quite frankly I know I wouldn't
trust anyone to respect *my* safety, regardless of my equipment; at
least with a full shield/cage, my bases are covered), but this article
should really put this issue to rest, at least until more research is done
(assuming that it's really necessary).
