To my knowledge (limited I admit) discussing pricing in an open format is
not illegal.  Big biz does this all the time via newspapers, TV, etc. (you
don't really think the airlines are announcing a price hike for any other
reason than price signaling to their competitors do you).  

I agree that collusion is something to worry about, however, in our highly
fragmented industry I would doubt such charges would hold water.

But... I could be wrong ;-)

Wow!  This is truly scary. Do you have personal experience with this 
David?  You can respond off list.  I love our government.  More fodder 
for my fear and uncertainty.
