*259Foster, J.
(concurring) — While I have signed the court’s opinion, I do so because of the belief that the court holds that (1) RCW 48.19 must be strictly construed, and (2) such a construction properly leads to the conclusion that appellant is a “subscriber” within the statute (RCW 48.19-.140(2)) defining a subscriber as “. . . any insurer which employs the services of a rating organization for the purpose of making filings ...” One who utilizes the research services of a rating organization employs those services for the purpose of making filings, albeit its own filings.
With this reservation, I have signed and concur in the court’s opinion.
