True. A nice thing around here is that if they lost, which they would, they would have to pay Clambakes expenses related to the trial. And another thing for the very interested: On Clambakes pages they describe how you can get a copy of some of CoS "secret documents" legally. They were used in a trial in Sweden, and all documents used in such a trial is publically available... DagT
