William and all,
Before referring to legal issues get a law degree. In some states to
make such statements publicly is a violation of the law, William.
Please don't let it happen again. >;)
For everyone else. If you think that NSI in their recent adjustments/changes
has violated the law, please seek competent legal assistance, and try not
to react to such musings as William is refering to in this and other
posts on or about this subject/situation with NSI. The ABA and other
state bar associations would make the same recommendation I believe.
It appears that William Walsh has not taken his prozack today....
