Dennis, There's another factor at work here: in all matters that could conceivably be construed as being conflictual in some way, no matter how tangentially, now or at some point in the infinite future, *all* attorneys will always tell *all* clients to say nothing whatsoever. This approach to doing business has now slopped over from the legal department to the executive level generally. As an example, some corporations won't even respond to a "60 Minutes" story about them, which makes them look both guilty and ridiculous, but they choose to handle it that way anyway; it's become a widespread subcultural malignancy at this point. On the other hand, simple laziness or disorganization are also possible explanations. --David Lawrence ************************************** Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.
