He revealed his ignorance of the legal system when he quoted the seventh circuit as if it were a fact-finding court. It's not. Only the lower courts do any fact-finding. And even then, their factual determinations bind only the poeple involved in the lawsuit, and nobody else. And even then, you have to read more than just the tiny out-of-context fragment quoted by Rjack to get the full meaning. Now Rjack is trying to make divert attention away from his major gaffe. -- Rahul http://rahul.rahul.net/ _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
