[edit] National Association of Insurance Commissioners
It was indeed inadvertent; sorry about that. That was like one of those bad GMAT questions: "Where can you move the comma to totally change the message of the sentence?". Kuru talk 23:21, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] NAIC again
Sorry about the reverting and about the attitude. It's probably a bad idea to edit when tired. I'm new to Wikipedia and there seem to be a thousand policies. Thanks for pointing me to verifiability -- that certainly helps. I have come across many real-life examples (colleagues, for example) in which the NAIC is called a regulator; my impression, therefore, is that many people fundamentally misunderstand the NAIC's role. But you're right -- the policy doesn't support the way I phrased it (or the reverting, for that matter). Thanks for hanging in there with me.McTavidge 03:23, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
