Lawyers can afford crack, at least the upfront financial cost of it. I guess that observation explains a few things. I asked WB about this scenario (being careful, and asking if I *could* write such a thing, no references to you or here in the email) a few days ago, they haven't yet got back to me. If/when they do, I'll forward it for your amusement. If they say I can do this thing (Joshua backing the sun off was a minor miracle in comparison), I'll push my luck and ask for paper `for the record'. If you don't ask, you won't get. (-: Cheers; Leon
