There's a good chance he's a co-plaintiff specifically to avoid being named a co-defendant. Ain't saying he's right or wrong, but if I were in his situation and couldn't just stay out of it completely, I'd rather be a plaintiff than a defendant. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
