is to reinforce confidence in the system in order to prevent further runs like this. Hopefully, enough people will realize that, and that it's not bailing out the banks, and take that to heart. If we make sure to spread the info I posted above, it's less likely we'll see more banks fail, except for their own mistakes or malfeasance.
