Well said! Or in my case, he was so smooth, that I had no idea he had turned on the seat warmer for the passenger seat I was in, in the middle of summer. At least not until I started sweating profusely.

<< <i>2. We live in a litigious society, I have heard. Libeling a company (often called defamation or commercial disparagement) like PNG can get you sued. If you don't think so, do a word search in google for "verdicts for libel on the internet". When you get sued you have to hire lawyers who bill you to death. So, when you libel any entity, even if you win, you still have to pay the lawyers, which means you lose......always....usually 30-50K for a simple case.
3. People who make libelous comments usually have a history of doing that and other not so smart things. They have bad judgment which also manifests itself in eventual poverty. So, when someone sets themself up to get sued, they usually have the bad judgment that goes along with it.....which usually is accompanied by no assets......or common sense: another phrase for good judgment. So, now do you understand my suspicions? >>

how do you pay a lawyer if you don't have a banker?

My favorite lawyer joke:
99% of lawyers give the other 1% a bad name...
