And this delightfully illustrates what IMG's Mark MacCormack is pleased to call "the Terrible Truth About Lawyers", to wit: Lawyers believe that their job is to tell you what not to do. Their *actual job* is to tell where risks lie, so that you can make informed business decisions about which risks to take, and how to allow for them. If you as a businessman believe the lawyers' point of view, though, you will never accomplish anything. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
